Picture_Shooter Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sup all! Been a while since I creeped up in here. Yep - my subie is now over 150K and no issues. ~ But I need some help. One of my fog lights on my 00 gone out. I went out yesterday to my local AZ store and got some fog lights. BTW anyone here know if the Silver Star Ultras are any good? I tried taking off the old one, but I am trying to see how to remove it, but it does not come out. I tried the tradional twist and pull out ( ) way and it does not work. I then went into the service manual and it says: maybe dificult to remove and to take it to a subaru dealer: What gives? Anyone know the proper way to get these buggers out so I can save some $$$ and no pay a Stealership to install them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah77clash Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 to remove the bulb from the socket? its called a "bayonet socket" and you have to push it down/in before you twist. it's spring loaded and you will know when you've done it right. as an obvious reminder, be sure to not touch the new bulbs with your fingers/skin. use a paper towel or something. the oils from your skin will drastically reduce the bulb life if not damage it completely.

Picture_Shooter Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yep to remove the bulb from the socket Oh ok, that was what I was doing wrong. I am used to the twist and pull . I'll try what you said, and I plan to use laytex gloves when installing Thanks man, *** Btw --- my subie dealership said they wanted $50.00 to install the new bulbs (which I already have).

Picture_Shooter Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well I attempt it again, and try the directions above and I could not get the old fog lights bulbs out. It's a PITA for sure and looks like I may have to take it somewhere. This by far is the only fog lights that I could not change out ... dang.
