Whats the easiest way to remove them. I had **** of a time, very little room. I am guessing that i have to take the bumper cover off or something? I am going to replace them with pilot foglights.

You could take the cover off if you want, but I think it would probably be easier to leave it on and just make use of whatever space is down there already. Are you talking about just the lights, or their brackets too?

... it took me a 1 min to take each off. i forget what size the socket it but take a small ratchet down under and take off the nutz on the back of the springs that hold it on. unplug the pigtails and voila.

The stock brackets that hold the smaller foglight brackets to the bumper support are heavy as ****. It's hard to get them off with the bumper cover on. There are 8 or 10mm bolts holding them to the bumper support. There isn't enough room to fit a ratchet with socket soo you wil lhave to use a wrench and turn it for like 3 days cause the bolt is most likely rusty. I used a ratcheting wrench. Made life allot easier. It would be better to remove them like I did and just drill the new foglights brackets to the bumper cover or something. Then make a semi support to keep it steady. The Fog light holes are pretty sturdy soo the aftermarket lights should be pretty stready bolted to it.

On my '93 I did away with the entire unnecessarily heavy brackets with pilot foglights.

On my '95 I just trimmed the brackets and used the stock lights.
