2005 MCS rear fog lamp replacement - DIY?
Don't misunderstand, i do love my Owner's Manual.
Except... regarding replacement of a burned out rear fog lamp, it refers owners to the dealer.
Is this to be believed, or can I successfully seek the benefit of some '05 owner's experience, with replacing it on his (or her) own?
The toggle for the rear foglamp lights up when switched "on", (the Yellow- tipped one
), but the bulb doesn't light (which makes me think i'm OK "electrically" but oh how i wish i could find some experienced rear-fog-replacers, on NAM!
It appears i've already used up all of my "just kick the bumper and it will come back on" (which worked once or twice lol). It's time for a new bulb, or at least a closer look.
Thx,
Tatt

Reach under the bumper and press inward on the 2 tabs that hold the lamp in place. You will be able to push the lamp rearward out of the bumper.
