Hey everyone
Last year when I bought my exaust off a member on here they threw in a set of almost new 2G fog lights. Neither of the bulbs work in the "new fogs" and both the bulbs work in my old ugly fogs. The thing is I can't get MY stock brackets (two bolts) or the sub-brackets (two screws) off. I tried simply prying the lens off (since thats all i really need to change) and I cracked a huge chip out of one of my ugly lights. Is there a trick to this? Perhaps heating the seal? I've never really looked at these much and i'm wondering what others have done.
Thanks for the help! -Jamie

So I'll take the two good bulbs out from the old lights. Put them in the newlights, and put the good lights and brackets in where the old ones were....makes sense. I still can't get the old ones out however since the screws are stripped.
Edit: Any advice on getting stripped screws out? I've never tried it before.
