The bulb comes out from the back, accessed from underneath the bumper. I am pretty sure the main unit just clips into the bumper surrounding. Should be able to access all from behind the bumper, but make sure exhaust is not hot.

There is enough height to get under the car but suggest driving the car onto a block on wood to give you an extra inch or two of space (makes a real difference).

Hi,
Many thanks that should be a bit cheaper as can do myself rather than having to remove the bumper appreciate your advice Ta

If you need to remove the bumper then it will only take about 15 mins (assuming you are reasonably DIY competent). If you look at this link ( http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-Updated-T...structions ) then it will show you how to take the bumper off.

Try ebay for replacement fog lights or if you have no luck try one of the forum sponsors who should be able to get you one with about 20% discount
