Anybody got a trick for getting to the top two mounting screws for the drivers side foglamp? It's RIGHT under a reservoir and the only thing I can think of is a very-long screwdriver. I can't get a rachet extension in there with a screwdriver tip. I've got the inner fender piece off and got to the bottom two bolts easilly.

Thanks in advance.

 

Without looking at it and never experiencing it I'd assume you can just move the reservoir out of the way. Shouldn't be much more than a few bolts.

The rave says to remove the entire bumper for the drivers side fog light but I bet that is unnecessary especially if you can just move the reservoir out of the way.

 

I have the stock LR brush guard on my D2. I'm not about to pull that damn thing off so I can pull the bumper off, so I can replace this light. I just bought a LONG phillips head screwdriver and am going to give it another go. Wish me luck.

 

I removed the reservoir, the tire,and the inner wheel well. The screws came out on the front side,
it is that little space behind the light. I have a brush guard as well. It took some time and was worth the savings I got for a DIY project.

 

I just got it done. No brush guard removal, no bumper removal, no wheel removal, no reservoir removal. As suspected, a long #2 phillips screwdriver got the job done. Here's what I did:

-turned the wheel all the way to the right and took out all the front inner fender screws and nuts. There are two 10mm nuts on bottom, one 8mm on top right, two screws up top, and three on the fender lip. The piece pulls right out then.

-turned the wheel all the way to the left

-undid the two drain/vaccum/whatever hoses off the light

-unclipped the light connection

-removed the two bottom 8mm mounting nuts of the foglamp

-pried the back of the light down a bit with a socket extension so I could see the top two screws (the light generally lays right up against the bottom of the reservoir). Used my new 12" #2 Phillips screwdriver (which I have named "Fred") to reach back in there and undo the top two screws. The light pulls right out.

-To make it easier to put the top two screws back in on the replacement light I first bent the bottom two mounting tabs down about a half inch. the light slid right in and I put the top two screws in, bent the tabs back up, then screwed in the bottom two mounting screws. I then re-hooked the wiring harness, plugged the two hose things up, and replaced the inner fender.

The who job took me a half hour once I got the right length screwdriver. I cannot BELIEVE that anyone would tear the whole front off of their truck just to change that foglamp.

There you go!
