Ok!!! after the rain, this is what I see inside the left fog light. (It's driver side)

Yes, I know it's break, but I don't know how, maybe it's the rain. and I got problem getting it out without removing the bumper, is there an easier way to get it out without removing the bumper? please...

i actually installed aftermarket fog lights on my car and basically for me to put them on and keep it in place was just 2 screws on both sides to keep it in place. i think its the same for oem fog lights as well. so it shouldnt be that hard. just unscrew the screw keeping the cover under the lights, pull it back and take a look. it should just be 2 screws. unscrew and unplug and you should be able to remove that broken bulb.

well if you did nothing wrong and those are oem, why not bring it back to the dealer and let them see if its underwarrenty?

I had the same issue with my fog lights and took it back to the dealer. They had to order the part but it was covered under warrenty

Yellow Fogs... That ain't OEM

To me it looks like a classic case of finger grease on a halogen bulb.

That's why you always wear gloves when changing your bulbs.....

Yup. Always keep a box of Latex Gloves in your tool box.

It's not OEM guys, it's actually Lux. This is my second pair already

and I had Nokya before. I had it on for like around 2 months and that's it, but at least it was not break like this. I'll try to look behind the fog today... anyway, thank for all the comments!!!

damnnn. my nokyas are still running strong

Yes!!! I got it out already without removing the front bumper... special thank to x8dragon8x... It took me around 40 minutes to take them out and YES, it's only have 2 screws to keep them in place. I play around with the passenger side before working on the driver side. When I working on the driver side, I found out that there are no space for me to work with and then I ended up using my dad's short screwdriver (around 2 inches) to be able to take them out (NO GLOVES NEEDED!!!

). For now, I just put my stock fog back and waiting for the new order. I will using Nokya again because I like the light quality more than Lux bulbs, just hopefully I don't need to mess with it for another 2 months or so...

Here are all my fog pictures!!!

Stock..

Nokya..

Lux...

sorry about that. i forgot to tell you that you would need a really small screw driver to fit in there cause of the limited space. but its good that you got it done. good job.
