fog lamp stupid question =(

[JeepOwner07]

what the hell tool is used to remove the bezel on the fog lamp (bumper mounted ) one, i went to pep boys today and bought a 100 bit cheapie set and thought it was the t-45 but that didnt work.

BTW new Jeep Owner, and new to the forum have been reading the forum for about 2 weeks. and I LOVE MY JEEP hehe. 2006 Liberty Renegade Khaki, sunroof no light bar. Flat hood, though i think i like the rounded hood better.

G T H O!

Just kidding (kind of)...

Welcome, and I have no idea about your question, but I'm sure someone will

BTW, 06 Renegades are the best, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Wished I'd have payed attention when I took my Hellas off to put them on my new bumper! I think it's a torx T55/T65, mines on a rail with a bunch more in my toolbox. Then a T15 from the backside to remove the three wee screws that hold the bezel onto the lamp body.

thanks i guess i'll have to make a run to sears tomorrow, those two bits aren't included in the box i just purchased, glad it was only 10 dollars. and THANKS FOR THAT PIC, i had browsed hundreds of threads looking for a renee flat hood with a grill guard, and finally i see your pic, that's what i want, if i may ask how much was it, and do the fender flares have to be cut to put that on, also how heavy is it/does it decrease your gas mileage?

with an ARB bumper like that you need at least OME 927 heavy duty springs so time for a lift kit!

 

[ptsb5a]

The Bumper is available through ARB, google it. It weighs more than the stock plastic and even more when a 75lb winch is stuck in there too. It wasn't cheap. And, no, the fender flares do not have to be cut. I'm not sure about the gas mileage thing, sure it's less than when it was new but then I've made some considerable modifications too. I've some pics of the install in my album, go check it out. If you have any more questions be sure to post them here, There's a wealth of information available to you from folks who've been there and done that.

Tommudd, you're right about the springs, I've got Rusty's in there now with about 65K miles on them. I'll be springing for a complete Frankenlift kit in the spring. I'm game to replace all four springs and shocks. Besides, it probably needs it.

though i do love my libby, I'm not really the kinda guy who is into lifts. City boy through and through, though i do want to get "HIM" into the mud someday (and yes i say him cause well lets face it, its a Jeep, rough rugged and tough can't call him a her in any way) lol However i do love that grille/bumper maybe ill just look for other options.

ptsb5a -

Great looking KJ! What do you have on there as far as the lift, wheels, and tires go?

I just installed the factory bumper mounted fog light kit on my '05 Renegade. The previous owner had removed them. The tool to remove the light from the bumper is a t-40 (I just rechecked it). Hope this helps.

thanks, yea i found the right tool, now, after going to both sears and finding a set for 40 bucks, and then going to pep boys and found a set for 10 bucks, after all that work a week driving around, gas spent time wasted, and money burned on tools, i can't believe how freaking small the bulb actually is WTF! lol and i actually still didn't accomplish what i wanted, the tool i actually need is 5 star not 6 like torx bits and its a tamper proof tool, its for the swival arm of the fog lamp, i wanted to loosen that so that i could get to the screws for the bezel of the fog lamp without scratching up the grille (its a very tight fit) but i managed to do it anyway.

Thanks for the help, if we can get a couple of rainless days ill post some pics

yeah ARB aint cheap. like $800-$900 new sometimes you can find em $400 and up for used but thats even a damn good deal. but man do they look sweet. that will be my next and final upgrade
