    The right one is the easy side; not so the left.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Default Good information

    I’m replacing my headlights and fog lights this Saturday. I’ll take any help I can get ..!! I wish these machines came with led lights ..! They should have for what we paid .. (in my opinion)...!

    I doubt this will be much help. It only shows the right side, which is relatively easy to access. What is needed is instructions on replacing the left fog light on an RT, which involves; a) really skinny strong hands or b) removing the frunk or c) removing the air intake tube.

    Maybe a video about removing the frunk would be most appropriate?

    Meanwhile, I found these written instructions from an earlier thread; http://instructions.brp.com/content/...mber=219400137

    Default Poor design

    Strong hands and move ( not necessarily re move ) the air intake tube. Good lighting helps also. Put in LED lights.

    But it is poor design. Just like my wifes Chevy Equinox Sport----- you have to remove the grill to change the headlights.

    Default Patience

    The trick is a 18” long #2 flat tip screwdriver. Slip in, twist, remove cover. Work cover out. Now trim 1/8th” off the bottom tab, following the curve. Replace bulb, replace cover. We use a 1” diameter wood dowel about 18” Long to pry the snorkel out of the way.

    You can move snorkel enough without removing trim panel from around fog lights?Just did headlights,haven't buttoned up yet but thinkin I need to return the fog bulbs!Just not up for pulling frunk and whole front end...

    nope, leave the trim alone. Use a broomstick, pry the snorkel out of the way to reinstall the cover. Get a helper, it is much easier! Trim 1/8” off the tab on the bottom, goes on much easier! Take your time, it will go on. Or, meet me in Texas hill country. I’ll put it on for you! I’m leaving for Texas Sunday morning. I’ll have my phone on. Call if you need me. Joe
