The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) fog light bulb part number is Philips PA46-GF40 which is also known as part number PSX24W or 12276.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include 7mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet, a flat head screwdriver and a pop rivet removal tool.

Make sure the emergency / parking brake is engaged and place wheel chocks on both sides of the rear tires to help prevent the vehicle from moving.

The first two steps are to slide under the front bumper cover and locate the three metal fasteners on the wheel well liner.

There is one 7mm screw (coarse threads) and two longer 7mm bolts (finer threads).

Loosen the two 7mm bolts. They may remain attached to the plastic panel.

You can place some tension on the 7mm bolts with the pop rivet removal tool to fully remove them, as shown in the pictures down below.

To unlock the plastic pop rivets, pry out the small center pin with a flat head screwdriver.

I tried to pull back the plastic access panel with out fully removing the two 7mm bolts.

So I had to go back to the wheel well and place some tension on the bolts with the pop rivet removal tool.

With your other hand, rotate the bolts in the counterclockwise direction with the 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Set the two 7mm bolts aside with the other fasteners.

Squeeze the two tan / yellow colored release tabs before pulling the bulb straight out of the housing.

Then push down the release tab on the orange electrical connector before sliding it straight off the base of the old light bulb.

If you'd like to have brighter fog light bulbs, install some compatible replacement PSX24W LED units.

Push the new bulb on to the electrical connector. You should hear or feel the power plug "click" securely into place.

Push the new bulb into the housing. The two retaining clips should "click" securely into place.

Push the plastic access cover back into place.

To test the new fog light bulb, turn on the headlights and activate the fog light switch.

Tip - If you installed an LED bulb and it doesn't work, try disconnecting the power plug, rotating the bulb 180 degrees and pushing the power plug back on. Some LED bulbs are "polarized" and will only work when the "+" positive and "-" negative electrical contacts are in the correct orientation.

Don't forget to write down the bulb change in your SUV's service records.
