I've got a facelift manual around in this room somewhere, if I can find it ;D

Got a couple of foglights in the garage as well, may take a peek later...

seems to a difference of opinion on this? on mine, the bulb is soldered into a 90degree plastic elbow ( about 2 inches in length) that has a two pin connector which is a twist fit into the lens. the wiring loom clips onto this.  only found out its soldered because i tried to pull the bulb out and it broke off.confused because i have never seen one like this before

i recently removed the fogs on my car.. 2003 model.. fog lamp bulbs are changed with a simple turn  on the bulb housing and it simply lifts away from the light casing. and this is the same on a 2001 model.
