Question on removing fog lights and removing change drawer

I'm sure both of these questions have been asked but here goes....


1.) How do I remove the fog light casing and open it up to retrieve a bulb that has fallen inside it and is no longer attached to the plug? It's just laying inside the casing. (body shop did it).

2.) Acura wants to charge me to remove all of the stuck change behind that poor excuse for a change drawer. How can I do this myself?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

there's a screw at the inside part of the housing (if working on the drivers side housing, it's on the left side: passenger side housing screw is on the right side of the housing)...towards the center of the car. you'll need a long philips driver to access it from the grill in the center. it's kinda hidden but not really. look through the black grill and you'll see it. one screw for each housing. just loosen the screw then pop out the housing. you don't need to completely remove the screw...just loosen it good enough to be able to pop out the casing.

to get those coins out, you'll have to remove parts similar to accessing the headunit/car stereo. here's a link to removing those parts....can be found at the a/v forum. http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=51712

icy's totally correct, but there is also a small clip that holds the fogs in when the screws are loosened. You can reach around the back of the light and feel it sticking thru.
