Ok guys. I understand how to take this plastic out. Very easy just slowly pull out, starting from right side continuing to the left side.
This is how it looks like: The "mounting plastic clips" is soft so try to do everything gently. Last edited by GoodGuyAvi; 05-02-2013 at 08:16 PM.. |

Great info, thanks!
Instead of blacking out the fog and plastic piece, I am thinking about just taking out the whole section, and just put a mesh grill on top. |

Just talked to the dealers.
They have 2 concerns for me taking out the fogs: 1. If doing so somehow affects the electrical circuits, they will not honor my warranty. 2. They said they have no way of disabling the fog light error codes. I asked what about those people who installed performance bumpers? He couldn't answer. So in short, I am stuck with the fog lights. AvetNY, do you have any pictures of after painting the silver fog light trim and tinting the lamp? I might need to go with the same set up |

To remove the code error, we need to "trick" the car to think that the fog lights are still there. So, we can use a big resistor to do the job. I have successfully done this in my previous car (changing to LED signal lights), but mind you, the resistor gets very very hot. The best option, imo, is to do some coding to disable the fog lights once and for all.. My dealer said they can't do such coding though......... |
