Does anyone have info on how to dismantle the necessary pieces of the front grill assembly to replace a foglamp that has lost a duel with a rock? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jon, I just checked the TIS/ETK and I don't see anything other than the hex bolt in the upper inner corner of the lens cover/housing. It lists the cover/lens as:

63 17 6 906 427 (left side) or ...428 (right)


Cheers,
Duey

Duey,

Thanks for the help. That screw is the adjustment screw that's accessible for aiming. There are actually two screw holes along the side of the lamp unit that are used for mounting. My problem is figuring out how to disassemble the area around the lamp to get at those two screw holes.
