Any easy way to crack open a stock round foglight housing?
Just curious on ways to go about removing that little inner octagonal shaped reflector in the housing - needing more of a flood light, and less of a spread pattern..
Is it as easy as removing a few bolts on the back? I took a peek but haven't removed it from the rig at all yet. Thanks ahead of time!

Just went out and popped off one foglight - its actually super easy to open up - remove any screws you see.. pull off the bulb housing, pry up on two tabs and it angles open - theres a silicone gasket there to help keep moisture out as well.
Its -really- easy to open up an clean out the lights if needed.. somehow (not sure how!) there is crap inside the housing, old bugs and stuff that somehow got in there - spray clean, wipe it out - let dry.. remove the octagon reflector - and walla! more light!
I actually used some electircal/no residue cleaner to clean the housing once it was apart - might go ahead and use some silicone to help seal it up like shane did on his own
