Hi, guys. Recently, I need to change the fog lights on my 07 Grand Prix. How to access the fog light bulbs? Do I need to take off the front bumper or I can reach them throught the wheel archs? Thanks!

philips screw driver. there are 2 screws in the front of the fog light.

Thank you so much. I'll try tomorrow!

I just jack up the front and twist them in and out from the back. Five minute job.

07 =/= 97

I took off the fog lamp today, but there were three wires connected to the bulb and it cannot be replaced directly like the low beam bulb. And I could not find where the wires come from. Anyone has idea how to do the replacement? Thanks!

the bulb has a plastic piece on the bottom of it that disconnects from that wiring harness.

but the bulb is connected to the wires directly. and i tried to disconnect the bulb from the harness but i couldn't. I looked up the owners manual and it says i should contact the dealer for changing the bulb not mentioned in the manual, like the fog light bulb. i searched some auto light bulb websites and most of them separate the 07 Grand Prix Base and GXP. so is it true that i cannot replace the fog light bulb myself?

according to what I could find, its either an 896 bulb or an H11. Both of which should be user serviceable.
How about a picture?

hi, here are the pictures of the bulb.
anyone has an idea how to replace it?

ya pull the bulb out of the socket. its a 3157 or 3151 bulb

Besides, thats not a fog light, its the parking light/turn signal. GM finally got rid of the "fog lights on every GP" in 2006, where it turned into an option.

you gotta pull on the orange bulb and take it out of the black socket. NO NEED to cut or even touch the wires.
bulb should look like this:

I was gonna say... that is NO WAY IN HELL a 3157, 3057 or even a 3457.
Had too many people coming looking for them to know its a 3757/4157.
NA means its amber, LL means long life. KR also means long life but they're older than the LL "line" of "long life" bulbs.
Enjoy your new turn signal bulb.

just an idea i had one day, how cool would it be to get your hands on some of the projector fog lights like this:
and making a turn signal halo around the edge of it

Ya, its been done. Pretty easy to dojust an idea i had one day, how cool would it be to get your hands on some of the projector fog lights like this:

Figured it would def have been done on the 97-03 but i have yet to see ANY custom stuff like this on the 04+. If someone has a connection that could hook me up with those projectors i would love to toy around with it. I think the only hard part would be making the LED's not run with the regular running lights. LED's aren't the best at running and then flashing brighter, better for being off then flashing. Ex: the new malibu tail lights
