Title: Facelift foglight upgrade
Post by: johny5 on 26 August 2010, 23:09:37

Hi just wondered if i wanted to go about installing a pair of genuine foglamps into my GLS, hwat parts would i need? i assume the wiring is there as i have plugs in behind the bumper.

Thanks

Set of lights, interior light switch

Take off front bumper,at the back remove the cover where the fog lights go, bolt in the lights, plug in, re-fit bumper, change interior light switch with one with the front fog switch on it

Job done  :y

is that it? will the wiring for the switch end be behind the blank?

It should just be a case of fitting the foglights, foglight switch (may need a complete light switch) and possibly pop a fuse in.

Does your bumper have grills fitted, in place of foglights? Theses SHOULD just pop off and foglights slot in place, if not then you may need a different bumper too...

yeah my bumper has the slatted grills but you can pull out where a fog light would go. So would the bumper still have to be taken off to bolt in the lights or can it be done just removing the grills?

Also would i need to get foglight holders or would they be there already?

thanks

The GLS has 'foglight shaped' grilles to continue the black slats,but if you look closely you will see the vertical gaps,once the bumper is off it will either unclip or unbolt.
Definately need the interior switch,the GLS only has 1 button for the rear fogs under the rotary switch that puts the headlights on

Bumper needs to come off..very easy though 4 bolts at the front of each wheel arch, 2 plastic clips on top next to screen wash bottle and 3 clips underneath at the front, once there all off, pull it slightly to get a slight gap then remove the bits of trim from under the headlights.. unclip the outside temp sensor (middle at bottom) bumper off! :y
Pretty sure the grille parts will be clipped from the rear

They are standard bumpers through the range so should just be bolt on and plug in :y
