ST205 GT4 Front Fog-lights Change, Replacement of fog lights ST205 Options

[ST205racer]

Hi,
I have been trying for several weeks now but no luck:

I have a Celica ST205 GT4 and one of the Front Fog lights has blown so it needs changing. I tried to undo the bulb but it seems theres no way it can come out. I have tried unscrewing it, twisting it, pulling it, pushing it, yanking it and nearly gona smash it as it doesnt come out.

There is a screw just ontop of the panel where the fog light is, which i unscrewed but still no panels move or allow me to replace and take off the fog lights.

Anyone who has a ST205 will know what i am talking about but has anyone had success changing fog lights on the ST205, if so, please could you let me know as i have nearly battered my brains out trying to do it.

Thanks

remove the plastic trim peice, then remove the 2 screws holding the fog lamp to the bracket, pull the lamp toward you, pull out the cover on the back and replace the bulb..its pretty simple.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I havent even got that far. lol.

Once the screw is removed that holds the plastic trim piece, the trim piece doesnt seem to want to come out.. i have tried pulling it , sliding it to both sides and also yanking it with abit of force but no luck. Thats both sides.

Any clues on what i should do? Shall i force it out? dont want to crack it.

Thanks

on the side opposite the screw, there are two little peices that interlock with the bumper opening trim.

I tried today, not easy ... I think there is 1 screw round the back also holding the plastic surrounding!!

it's usually one screw on the front and the rest just snaps off.
