    Default Lower driving light

    Not the headlights,, but the light at the bottom of the bumper,, is there a spring or something that secures the plactic bezel ?? Mine wiggles in one side but not the other and I'm unable to see what secures it in place,,

    Yes, it is held in by a tension spring, check to see if it is seated the same as the other side. If not you can get at it by removing the corner air dam, corner panel, and pulling the brake cooling tube out of the way.Good luck

    C6 has been to 20 states, 42K miles and counting... slowly, more fun driving the '64 and the '72.

    Not referring to the pop ups, but the lower ones that are activated by the push button just above the rear hatch button..........

    Sorry, I don't have him covered as you suggest. The fog lights are on a solid bracket that is part of the light (10256980) and bolted fast. The lower outside driving/parking light (18523530/29 L/R) is held in by a tension spring (10291802) in a bracket (10269679) like I stated. The pop up headlights were never considered anything other than headlights.

    Sorry, you're right. The Driving lights/corner lights are attached with the spring. I just changed those fog lamps out Before thanksgiving) in mine for HID's and now I can't remember how they were attached. I know there is an adjustment to aim the fog lamps, so there is some sort mechanism that allows for that.

    Guess I'll have to go home and look it up in the FSM.

    Here's some pictures for you OP, from inside the bumper. That spring is a hard find, dealer only item. I found 3 when I needed one and bought all three, just in case.
