02 Grand Prix fog light bulb replacement?

Wife's car is an 02 Grand Prix GT.
One of the fog lights is out.
I have the replacement bulb.
What is the best way to get at the bulb to replace it? And yes I know not to touch it. :)
I did some searching here and didn't come up with anything for her year (and I don't remember what year the body styles changed).

Thanks for any advice!

She has a headlight that went out this morning now (thats an easy replacement from what I remember from putting her Silverstars in), so I figure if I replace that, I should probably do the burned out fog light at the same time, lol.

Thanks everyone!
Josh
 


put your hand on the back of the fog lamp by reaching under the front lip of the bumper and remove. I know it twists, and i think theres a clip you have to push in so it will be able to twist all the way and come out.
 


If the fog light that needs to be replaced is on the drivers side, you can remove the headlight and have a clear view to your foglight bulb, and matts right it just twists off. I don't remember exaclty which side it is, but one of them has the horns in the way so you can't get to the fog lights. Getting to the lights from under the car is a pain because you can't see what your doing. Maybe if your lucky it's the side without the horn in the way so it's easier for you. :)
 
Awesome, thanks Nawarkk.
If I recall what I read in other threads, the headlight assembly comes out pretty easy?
I don't know which side it is (the fog lights been out for a while I and have been a bad hubby and haven't replaced it). :(
 
yea it's pretty easy to take the headlight off, there are two bolts that hold the headlight in place. They are facing up and you just need to unscrew them and then the headlight comes off. Make sure to take off the plugs so you can just remove the whole headlight. You'll know what's going on when you take it off. And if I remember correctly, the passenger side is where the horn is, so if the fog light bulb you need to replace is there, there's no point to remove the headlight, just go from underneath if that's the case.
 
Yep, horn is definitely on the passenger side, and really in the way, lol.
I had to replace the drivers side, but the bulb is a bit different and I am betting the light output will 'look' different, so I guess I will just replace both. (I would know if they look different, except one of the prongs on the new bulb was broke, so I am just gonna go swap that out. Besides, if I don't do both, the other one is just gonna burn out in a month or so, that's what always happens when I am lazy and only replace one light. ;)

Thanks for the help again everyone!
