Do you go up through that little rectangular piece held up by four plastic fasteners? I just want to make sure I'm going about it the right way before I start pulling stuff off. '98.5 T-red SVT

If you take the housing iut, you'll have to re-adjust them (PITA). :p 1998 Contour Sport V6, Black Cold air induction Powdercoated intake manifold (more powdercoating coming soon) Blue headlights, foggies, and signals (no reflectors) CEG stickers & removed door moldings -------------------------------- 1994 Ford Aspire 4-door, looks like a big egg 64 hp 4-cyl 5 speed "13 steel rims with go-cart tires 74 mph top speed *I'm going to auto-x the thing (but not compete)

So I removed the whole plastic piece that is there held up by 8 or 10 torx screws. When I got that out of the way, it left a clear path to replace my fog lights. 1996 Mercury Mystique GS 2.0 Zetec, auto trans toreador red Xenon headlights, foglights Blue reverse lights foglight re-wire JVC cd player Rockford Fosgate 5x7 2-ways Pioneer 100w x 2 amp 2 Pioneer 10" subs in custom box Soon: LED Taillights Cold Air Intake Cross drilled rotors Adjustable coil overs ----------------------------------- "I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
