replacing fog lamps in an ES

A rock took out one of my fogs in my '03 ES. Worked fine for awhile but then water got in there and now it's out.

Questions:

1. Can you replace cover yourself?
2. If not, how much would a dealer charge?
3. What's a good replacement bulb?
4. Thinking about replacing both with something more 'yellow' for a change and more powerful. (But not so powerful it melts or shorts out of course.)

Anything good out there?

I had the same problem. You cant just replace the cover of the light, you will have to replace the entire fog light. I know at the dealer they said it was like $120 Canadian, but P5's are a lot more pricey. I shopped around quite a bit and the dealer was the only one selling it.

Fog Lights

Speaking of fog lights....I have a bulb that is blown that I need to replace in my 2001 ES....any idea of where I can find one on the net for my year model?

I have the same problem. How does the fog light housing come out so that you can replace the bulb? I have tried taking the screws out of the bottom, but it doesnt come out. The dealer wanted $20 just for the bulb plus labor, screw that!

never checked it out, but i would assume you have to take the bumper off to change them out. (like the headlights)
