Just wondering, I have now removed the headlight housings and grill twice to install LED fog lamps and LED turnsignals as well as load resistors for the turn signals.

I am not happy with the LED H8 fog light bulbs and will be taking them out and replace with non-LED. The original bulbs had better light output.

My question is thus. Can you get at the fog lights from underneath by removing ot partially removing the plastic belly pan ? I have ramps so I wonder if it can be done that way ?

You probably can, however pulling off the plastic around the light, pull the reflector and then remove a screw and the fog light housing comes right off. Total time per light it under 5 minutes.

Can you see how a thread title like "removing fog lights from underneath" would have been far more useful? Then we wouldn't all have to click on your damn thread to see what its about.
