does anyone know how to replace a factory foglight from a 97-99 maxima? my lense is cracked and im getting a new one but im not sure how to replace it. id like to do it myself to save money from labor with a body shop, plus if one ever cracks again ill know how to do it. i believe there is a skrew or something that holds the assembly in place and once removed the lense should slide out? is this right or am i just totally wrong? can anyone help??

As far as I can tell looking at my fogs, when the lens is broken, the whole light is crap. However my fogs do not have a glass lens, they have a plastic lens, so it may be really different.

Ben, hit me up on AIM, you're not logged in...

I'm pretty sure you are right Ben. Just remove the screw on the side of the light, and see if it'll come out.
