Does anyone know how to get te skid plate off the bottom of the car? Looked like a lot of bolts.

 

There are two pieces:

One large piece held on by four bolts (10mm wrench). This is the one you would take off to do an oil change.

A second smaller piece attaches to the fascia with several bolts (never counted but probably 10-12 bolts, 7mm wrench) and 6 pop-rivits, three on each side in the fender well. You would take this off to run duct from the front, install headers, gain access to the fog lights.

Also, the larger piece attaches to the smaller one with two of the four bolts.

Sometimes you need to take-em off to get that damn bolt that dropped [>:]

 

Thanks for the info. Freaking fog lights are becoming a pain in the ****!

 

Oh man, what's going on with those FreakingFoggers?

 

HAhahahahah they are freaky.

I bought cool blue xenon head and fog lamp bulbs. They look really cool but the look is not complete unless the fogs match.

I wonder if the Stealership will slip them in for me while changing my oil tomorow.


Also when you change headlamps bulbs do you ahve to get teh ligts calerbrated so they are perfectly straight and give you maximum visablity? My cool blues only light up MAYBE 20ft infront of the car. Since they are not Super White I thought it might be normal?

 

You haven't really moved the alignment of the bulb so it should be good.... but you might want to pull upto a wall and check it out just to make sure.

 

Replacing the fog bulbs isn't that bad. You don't have to drop the bottom entire panel, just remove the fasteners on the corners under the fogs (about 6 or 8 if I remember right) and pull the panel down enough to reach in there. It's plastic and so is the bumper cover so it will bend with no problems. Took me about 10-15 minutes to do both sides.

Any time you change bulbs, it doesn't hurt to check the alignment. Don't expect the lights to be perfectly aligned from the factory either.
