fog lamp unit- replace

[whogan]

Has anyone had experience removing/replacing the fog lamp unit (not bulb) on a 2001 RAM SLT? Dealer says it will take most of a day, the bumper has to be removed. Say its not true!



Thanks

Re: Fog light

I got to my 98's by using a flex socket from under the bumper, its tight but I think it took around 1/2 hour to R@R them (additional time to convert the brackets over to CATZ lights)



What you to have to do is remove the complete light and bracket, much easer

You can R/R a bumper in under an hour. there are 6 bolts that hold it on. With a can of wd-40 and a ratchet you can have it of in 15-20 min. An impact would cut it to 5 and half of that would be unplugging the fog lights.



The bumper is very light for it's size and can be installed by one man in 20 min or less w/ ratchet.



Buy the light. . do it yourself.



FWIW,

When I put Piaas on mine I did it without taking the bumper off but its tight fit. I'm going to replace them with Catz but this time I think I will take the bumper off. Sounds like its a lot easier.

My Eleven year son and I

My eleven year son and I installed the fog lights and replace the bumper in a double of hours. Wiring took just as long. Jack stands are nice to rest the bumper on when unbolting or reinstalling it. While you have the bumper bolts loose, it a good time to put the pull hooks on. I picked up a new set complete kit on Ebay for $75



Never know when a ford will need help.
