In order to get your old light down if it's in one place or to get your new light up, you need to remove this bracket, which is one 10 millimeter bolt here and two 15 millimeter bolts here. I'm just going to use some rust penetrant and spray the back side before I remove them. I loosened the small one, and I removed the two big ones. I'll just let it kind of hang out of the way. And by looking at our new fog light, you can see to remove it, there's four mounting holes. There's four mounting locations. There's seven millimeter bolts that hold it to the top. At the base four corners. So, those bolts underneath. And underneath, you can see two are very easy to see. There and there. And two are more difficult to point out, but there on the sides. You'll want a seven millimeter socket with an extension and a ratchet and remove those bolts. Remove this bracket detached, gently pull it down. Pull your light out.
I have a bucket underneath to catch any fluid that comes out. We're going to pry up. You actually want to pull out the top of the pump first and then pry up. You're going to get all kinds of fluid coming out. Try and control it until it drains out, and just let that drain for right now. With most of the fluid now drained out, you want to disconnect your fluid lead, which you just twist, get loosened up from the washer pump, and pull it off. And then disconnect your electrical lead. Disconnect this little tab, pull up, and take the pump is off.
Replacement pump back in, hook up the connector first. Bring it up close. Hook up your washer line feed and then push it up into place. There's another harness that you kind of have to move out of the way. Push it up into place. Put the pickup down in, push it in, and then push it back against the bottle to lock it in place.
Gently kind of pull down on this. Feed your new light up into place. It'll start in the seven millimeter bolts to hold it. Put the driving light bulb in. In, lock it in and then reconnect our fog light. Now we'll put this bracket back in place. Tighten these up first. And then adjust it back to where it was and tighten up the 10 millimeter bolt. Now refill your washer fluid right here next to your battery in this vehicle. And recap it.
