Hey, I'm new here and I ran into this site by doing a search in Yahoo looking for directions on how to change the fog lights on my Alero. I have a 2002 Alero GL 4 Door. I want to know how to change the fog lights on my Alero. I read the owners manual but it says to take the car to the dealership. Thats not an option, it will cost an arm and a leg because I'm out of warranty now. So any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well pretty much just start unbolting stuff till the light comes off then reverse that procedure. otherwise I have no clue, I added aftermarket Fogs to my Alero but I had none to start with.

are you changing the whole assemly, or just the bulbs?

^ if you're just changing the bulbs, there's 2 ways.

(the easy way): take out the headlight assembly by pulling up on the 2 black clips and then reach down to the fog lights.

(the no-so-easy way): unscrew a couple of the visible bolts in the area of the foglights. the black plastic should come right out...and you have access to the bulbs. Don't forget how the plastic lays or where the bolts go though.

12V is the power source, 37.5 is the wattage. It should say both

i'd definitely like to upgrade my bulbs or change the lights completely.... they don't seem to do anything.

plus one of the lights is cracked (plastic center piece) :glare:
