automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the first generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012,
2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016) Jeep Patriot SUV in changing a burnt
out fog light bulb in the front bumper cover. Owners of other Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and RAM vehicles such as the Compass, Renegade, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, 500, Town & Country, 200, 300, Pacifica, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, RAM 1500, C/V Tradesman and ProMaster Van may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The replacement fog light bulb part number is PSX24W or 2504 which are available from various manufacturers such as Philips, Eiko or Nokya. If you would like to have brighter fog lights, install a compatible PSX24W LED bulb. No tools are needed to access and replace the bulbs. |

 Disconnect Power Plug |
 Old Bulb Removed |
 PSX24W or 2504 |
| Slide under the
front bumper and locate the back of the fog light bulb housing. To release the old light bulb, you have to squeeze or pinch together the two plastic tabs. There is one plastic release tab on either side of the base of the old bulb. Pull the old bulb straight out of the housing. Press the release button on the white plastic electrical connector before sliding the power plug straight off the base of the old light bulb. |

 How To Squeeze Tabs |
 Push On Power Plug |
 Empty Bulb Housing |
| Push the power plug
on to the base of the new PSX24W or
2504 light bulb. I recommend buying the Philips 12276 bulb since it has excellent reviews on Amazon. You can also use a brighter LED unit. |
||
 Push In New Light Bulb |
 New Light Bulb Installed |
 Test New Fog Light Bulb |
| Push the new fog
light bulb straight in to the housing until the retaining clips click
securely in to place. Double check that the new fog light bulb is secure. Test the new fog light bulbs by turning on the headlights and activating the fog light switch. For more,
