Title: Easy fog light question
Post by: bighed on 02 January 2009, 08:59:15

Have got a bulb out on one of my fog lights. What bulbs do they take and how do they come off to change bulbs  :-/

Bulbs are H1 and are fitted from behind, I jack up the front and slide under. Easy 5 min job :y

I find it far easier to remove the 3 torx screws for the plastic grille beside the fog, then remove the only screw holding the fog lamp in its mounting, lets you get the dust cap off easily and change the bulb.

cheers

Not all bumpers allow you to use that method - but great if you can :y

hi
    as already said, take the black plastic air vent off then unscrew lens, take care as the the screw may be corroded, good old wd40, same blub H 1 as main beam, if filled with water dry out with hot air gun  take care ;)

Handy to know as one of my headlight bulbs has gone and I have dozens of foglights sitting around, saves me paying out lol
