APT Fogs - How to Open?

Hey guys,

I've got some H3 bulbs I want to swap into my APT fogs, and I need to open them up to get out some condensation that has developed. I stared at the back of it for a long time without seeing any easy way to open it. What's the trick?

Thanks

You need a small screwdriver. Take your fog light out and look at the back of the fogs, you'll see 2 rubber boots. Remove the bigger boot to see a tiny screw behind it. Unscrew that to expose the bulb. Swap it. Then go in reverse. Make sure the rubber boots are on securely (Don't half butt this step, this is probably why condensation develops in the first place).

For the condensation, get a few of those silica gel packets and put it in there for about a day. The condensation should be gone.

Cool, thanks for the tips guys. I used a vacuum to get out the majority of the condensation, hopefully the rest goes away with time. If not, I'll try the silica gel packets.

Don't use a vacuum, use an air hose. That's what I did and got excellent results.
