The steps to remove and install the fog lights on a Nissan Sylphy are as follows: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry from the back of the fog light grille to release the clips inside; 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the clips securing the grille to the front bumper from the front gap; 3. Remove the fog light grille and spline; 4. Unscrew the two screws; 5. Hold the side where the screws were removed and pull upwards to take out the fog light for disassembly. The functions of fog lights are: 1. Front fog lights are used to improve illumination when road conditions ahead are unclear and to alert oncoming drivers; 2. Rear fog lights help vehicles behind to spot your car in low-visibility conditions.
Last month, I disassembled and installed the fog lights on my Nissan Sylphy by myself, and I feel this process is quite suitable for beginners to try. First and foremost, safety comes first—remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery to prevent electric shock. The fog lights are located under the bumper in a concealed position, so start by locating the securing screws and unscrewing them with a Phillips screwdriver. When gently removing the plastic lamp cover, be careful not to scratch the car's paint. The wire connector has a clip; press it to detach. After removing the old fog light, clean off any dust, insert the new light, reconnect the wires, and secure the screws back in place. Test whether the lights turn on properly. The whole process took half an hour, using only a screwdriver and gloves. Keep some lubricant handy to prevent rust, and ensure a good seal to avoid water ingress. Doing it yourself saves money and teaches you some skills—just take your time and proceed step by step.
