Although this is just a noob question, can someone please answer??

My right side foglight just went out, will i need to buy a whole new fog light, or is it just a bulb? Will i need to lift the car up or wil i be able to get to it from underneith or through the engine bay?

99 2.5rs is the car i am talking about.

 

It's a standard H3 bulb, you can get replacements at the parts store. To change the bulb you need to remove the fog light from the bumper which can be done from the front by removing the 3 screws that hold it in place. There is a fourth screw that is an adjuster, don't turn that one. Once the light is out you can remove the bulb cover on the back and take the bulb out.
It's a good idea to replace the bulbs in both lights at the same time since the other one is probably about ready to go also, and by replacing them in pairs the light output will be more consistent between both.

 

Don't forget not scratch or get oil from your hand on the new bulb.

Very good point, Ive heard that if you get oil or grease from your hand on the actual glass it can break or blow up once it gets hot because it is burning at a hotter temperature than it is supppesed to.
