can I replace just the bulb or do I have to buy the whole unit. It loos like maybe the bumper is going to have to come off.

I'm not sure now the 75-76 fogs work.

For the 70-74 ones, there is a divot on the bottom of the bumper that allows you to unscrew the clip that holds pressure on the bezel around the light. Remove the screw, the clip moves forward, and you can tilt the bezel and lens up and get at the bulb.

In theory.

In practice, it's easier to remove the four screws that hold the foglight grille onto the bumper, and work around everything that way.

Unless one of your DAPOs has replaced the U-speed nuts with plain hex nuts.

In which case, yeah, you're pulling the bumper...

(Guess what one of the PO's of my car did?? Guess how I found out?)

If you have the 75-76 type you just need to loosen the nut on the bottom side of the bracket that is welded to the bumper frame.
