Fog lights

Anyone know how to remove them? I am not talking about the light bulb. I installed yellow light bulbs but after a pumpkin incident the left fog began to condense and get water in it. Now the light bulb fried and is out because the water froze in there. Before I install a new one I would like to fix the leak where it is condensing through. Anyway or how to remove the plastic housing that the bulb is in?

Thanks

I just did mine... it's a little bit of a job. Once you figure one side out you can do the other side. If you need help let me know i'm not too far lol.

So it is possible to take out just the plastic housing that it is in? I just need to do the left side. Help would be well appreciated, I am in the suburbs of Chicago. Hey, you got your tune at AMS the same day as me, hah I remember you . what kind of Fog light kit is it that you have on in your sig?

Just unscrew the housings out of the bumper. Then use a screwdriver to carefully pry the taps up while pulling the housing away from the black plastic front piece. Its simple to do, but everything is plastic, so make sure its all room temp or you may crack something.

I'm up for a fog install/uninstall meet day. Someone would need the space. I can only fit like 2-3 cars where I live.

You guys can come down here if you want. I have a plethora of tools and lots of space. I'm going to have to put my IC, Piping, and HID Fogs in once it gets warmer out too. My cars been sitting in a storage locker for the last month.
