...alight...i need help removing the OEM fogs on my 94 hatch...the three screws on the front side that hold the foglight on are frozen in place...every time i try to unscrew them i just wind up bustin off some of the screw...any ideas? here's a diagram below, the red circled ones are the ones i'm having trouble with...they almost look like like they've been either corroded(sp) on or something...any help is good help...thanks!

 

spray some WD-40 on the screws, let em sit a while. if that doesnt work, just cut them with a dremel or something and then pull.

 

The screws that hold them on the bumper are on back of them, not front like the picture shows. I believe the front screws are for adjusting the beam pattern.

 

no, those are the correct screws to take off the fog light...there is another one to adjust the beam pattern...the screws on the back of the bumper are to hold on the whole assembly including the mounting hardware.

That should get you started.

*link found in online resources sticky at the bottom*

 

hey, thanks josh...i didn't see that link, but i did find the online manual in the sticky resources...but that's not really the answer i was looking for...i was more looking for suggestions on how to get the screws out...the heads of the screws are really soft, so what i wound up doing was drilling off the heads of them, but the light assembly itself is still stuck to the mounting bracket...i WD-40'd them to the hill and they still didn't come off...i am running out of ideas...i am about to order a new set and just start from there...the whole reason fro me taking them off was to get the condensation out, and put in different bulbs...it's turned into a bigger project than i expected...but thanks for the links Josh...good looking out....any suggestions from anyone is greatly appreciated.

h: I thought you wanted to totally remove the fogs.

An impact driver might work in getting them off. Spray a bunch of penetrating spray on them and let it sit for a while.

You could also dremmel a slot on top of the screws and use a big flat head screw driver to get them out. Then replace them with new screws.

I think you can also buy kits for extracting siezed screws.

 

thanks guys...i'm still playin with them...all good advice...i'll keep it all in mind and let you know of my results...

 

yeah, use pb blaster instead of wd40 also...
