Two Question - Fog Lamp and Web Site
Hey Guys:
Anyone know how to change out the fog lamps on a 2004 Sonata? It looks like I have to take the entire lamp assemby out of the bumper and that does not look like fun. As well - does anyone know what I have to download for IE to be able to display the drawings on hmaservice.com? I had this working at one point but had to re-build my computer and can't remember what the plug in is that is required for the site to work. Thx, -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |
Re: Two Question - Fog Lamp and Web Site
You should be able to access the fog lamp bulb from underneath. There may
be a cover on the back of the lamp that you need to twist and pull off. If I recall correctly, you can twist and pull the bulb out and unplug it from the harness. If you're having difficulty getting behind the bumper cover, you may need to take the front two retainers loose and pull down the front portion of the fender liner. For schematics, you'll probably need Adobe SVG Viewer. For other illustrations, you'll probably need Macromedia Flash Player. All the requirements are listed on the site requirements page. |

I did find the site requirements after I posted this question. It was quite difficult to find - they hid it in an area called Site Requirements. Whodathunkit? According to the manual, you have to remove the bumper cover to gain access to three screws that hold the lamp in. It appears the bulb socket does not just twist out - as I too had originally thought it would. I did get a hand up in there last night while farting around with it and I may be able to get a small screw driver up in there and remove the three phillips head screws that hold it in. We'll see. I can't work on it again until Monday night though. We swapped cars with a friend so we could use their mini-van to move our daughter this weekend. Syracuse to Philly in a ford mini-van. Ugh! My friends better not see me... -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Since I didn't recall needing to unscrew anything and I also didn't recall
exactly what the back of this lamp looked like, I trekked out onto the used car lot and stuffed my head under an '05. Definitely don't remove the three screws. You should be able to just twist the bulb counterclockwise and pull out of the lamp assembly. If you remove the three screws, methinks you'll have the lamp in many more pieces than you want. |

I did try to twist the socket, but I didn't put everything I have into it. Didn't feel like it wanted to move, but I'll give it more effort next week when I work on it. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |
Re: Two Question - Fog Lamp and Web Site
I'm sorry, I must not have been clear. Don't twist the socket. Grab the
electrical connector and the bulb together and twist the bulb. |
