    Default RT Fog Light bulb Replacement

    Can anyone direct me to a good video and/or instructions in replacing RT fog light bulbs? I have a 2015. I find one video, but I'm really struggling with trying to get my hands in there. The right side is tough and the left seems really challenging. I think I must need to remove more components to be able to get in there.

    Help appreciated.

    Unless you have small and very strong hands and fingers the easiest way to replace them, particularly the L one, is to remove the frunk. It is not a difficult job and here is an excellent video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw5atKHlmp4

    Even if this your first time removing the Frunk, it might take 20 min., but it will save you hrs. trying to do this with the Frunk on …. I found the most difficult part was re-connecting the Air intake at the rubber Elbow..... If you can't easily get a perfect seam , don't worry about … it doesn't need a perfect seal ….air is air, it doesn't matter ( unless it's super hot & it won't be ) where it comes from....and water won't be an issue either ….. good luck ….

    If you should decide to do with the trunk in place. Please have band aids on hand, also a few cold drinks of your choosing and ensure anybody that maybe offended by foul language is not anywhere within a mile of your work space.

    Go to the nearest high school and walk into the shop class and ask the teacher if he has a student that would like to work on your bike for a couple bucks!!!And let his skinny little hands and arms do the work!!! Sounds good to me

    There was nothing wrong with that when my history teacher let me work on her corvette in auto class, when I was in high school!! I had to flip a coin with my shop teacher to see which one of us got first dibs at the wheel!!! Dam that was a FUN tune up and a sweet test ride!!

    Ride it up here. I’ll do it. The right one is 10 minutes. Good practice. The left takes a bit longer, but easy enough. I’ll show you! Joe

    The left one does take a certain amount of swearing... and replace them with good LED lights so you do not have to change them a second time!
