How to Replace the Fog Lights on a Verna?
3 Answers
Use specialized tools to remove the fog light cover, unscrew the fog light and disconnect the wiring harness, then reinstall the fog light. Below is relevant information about fog lights: 1. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in foggy or rainy conditions where visibility is significantly affected by weather. Therefore, fog light sources need to have strong penetration. 2. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, with LED fog lights being a more advanced option. The steps to remove the fog light housing are as follows: 1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the clips from the back of the fog light grille, then use the screwdriver to pry open the clips securing the grille to the front bumper from the front gap, and remove the fog light grille. 2. Use a T-25 Torx key to remove the two screws securing the fog light. 3. The fog light has two tabs inserted into the bumper's clip holes. Hold the side where the screws were removed and gently pull upward to take out the fog light.
I often help friends with car repairs, and changing the fog lights on a Verna isn't actually difficult. First, turn off the engine and park the car on level ground, then disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electric shock or short-circuit accidents. The fog lights are usually located in small compartments at the very bottom of the front bumper. Crouch down and you'll see a few small screws securing the light cover—just unscrew them with a screwdriver to pull out the entire light unit. After removing it, disconnect the power plug, take out the old bulb, and replace it with a new OEM or compatible bulb. During installation, align the bulb with the slot and gently push it back in, then reconnect the plug and tighten the screws. Don't rush to reassemble everything yet—start the car first to test if the light turns on before turning it off again. The whole process requires patience, and since there's quite a bit of dust around the wheel arches, wearing gloves is recommended for better grip. If the entire light assembly is damaged, more parts might need to be removed, in which case it's best to consult a professional. Regularly checking the fog lights can extend their lifespan and save you some trouble.
My wife's car is a Verna, and last time when the fog light was broken, I replaced it myself without spending much. The steps were quite simple: prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a new bulb (model H8, which can be bought at the supermarket), turn off the engine, and crawl under the car to locate the fog light position. Gently pry open the plastic cover on the bumper, unplug the wiring connector inside. When removing the old bulb, be careful not to touch the filament. Wear gloves when installing the new one to prevent oil stains, align the connector, and tighten it clockwise. Reinstall the cover and press it firmly, and you're done—the whole process takes about 20 minutes, saving money and giving peace of mind. Test the light to ensure it's working to avoid accidents while driving at night. I recommend checking the fog light connection once a year to prevent rust, which can save a lot of car repair troubles.
