April 3, 200620 yr You should be able to get at the bulbs from under the car. You may need to remove some of the plastic under body tray to get at them.
April 5, 200620 yr New owner of 1998 Outback - any advice on changing bulbs in fog lamp - what do I remove?? fontanlc I'm guessing there must be some hint in the owner's manual... my father-in-law changed one on his 97 OBW last month when I was out of town, and the owner's manual was on the front seat when we returned.
April 5, 200620 yr AFAIK, the 98 is the same as my 97. You go at it from the front. 2 screws above the light hold the housing up into the bumper. Watch that the metal inserts in the bumper don't turn as well when you start turning on the hex head screw. That happened to me once. If it does, you can get a hold of the insert with a thin head wrench. It has a hex head as well. Once the 2 fasteners are out, you can take the entire foglight out of the bumper. Change out the bulb, and put it back together. Not difficult. One may be able to access from the backside, but I've never tried. I think there are shields etc in the way of doing that. Commuter
