How To Replace Fog Light Assembly 2004-09 Subaru Outback

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

To get to the fog lights we'll have to raise and support the vehicle because you need to unclip these two clips down at the bottom. And then there's one way up here if your vehicle still has it, and then if you have trim clip tool, you can use that to pry it out. Might want to have new ones on hand because sometimes these break, and you might have to break them to get them out of here. And we'll just push the old part through.

All right. Then we pull this plastic shield out to remove the fog light lens. Going to unplug the light. You're going to unplug the light bulb or just pull it out of the housing. I'm going to unplug it though just so I don't have the light bulb hanging. So you push the lock in, and you pull the connector off, and we'll just leave that hanging. I'll put it up here so it's out of the way. There's two push clips on the bottom I need to remove. Use this flat butted screw driver. Pry it out. Do the same for both. With those removed, the fog light housing we'll push out from the front of the bumper. So I'll put my hand here so it doesn't fall, and I'll slide it out of the bumper, and grab onto it, and there we have it.

So to reinstall it, these metal bolts wheel at the top, put it into the bumper Slide it in place. These metal bolts come through those locating holes. See the holes where the clips came out of. So I'll get the clips ready to go. Push them out or actually push that part in, and then push the center part in with the clip to lock it. Do the same for both. Clip those in, and then we'll plug these in here. And that procedure will be exactly the same as the other side.

We'll put the plastic shield in place. Slide it up inside the bumper and line it up with the holes there. Reinstall the push clips. You can put just the center part in first and then ... sorry just put the outer part in and then the center in to lock it. So simply just push it out. It doesn't want to come all the way out. Give it a little tug. Push it in here. And reinstall this clip here.
