changing fog light bulbs

[jonny thompson]

Hi just wondering how hard it is to fit new bulbs into the fog lights and how i would go about doing it. Do i need to get under the car?

Drop the undertray and you should be able to access them.

To warn you its very tight!

 

[jonny thompson]

Cheers very much. Sounds like it could be a pain in the ass to do but might give it a go, car looks crap with l.e.d side lights and xenon headlights and then standard fogs lol :lol:

:lol: no need for that. it's a 2 min job through the arch liners

 

[jonny thompson]

ok maybe sounded worse than its actually going to be to do it :lol:

 

[jonny thompson]

Right folks please help me out. Iv been lying on my back, in the rain now,under my gordini now for the past hour and still cant get anywhere near my foglight bulbs. :evil: Does anyone fancy putting a camera under their car and taking a few pics of what i need to loosen / remove so i can change the bulbs cause im having no luck at all :x

Finally got my foglight bulbs changed on my gordini . What a nightmare, Had to unscrew 2 screws that hold on the bit of plastic that hangs down from the car, then 1 screw from the front wheel arch and stick my arm up through the bottom of the car .My arm looks like someone has took a stanley blade to it with the scrapes from the plastic edges but at least they are fitted :lol: cheers for all your advice

Glad to hear you got it done in the end

[maggi200]

It can't be too different from the rs.

I just slipped a fist in the slit, after removing a few of the arch liner screws

 

[carbonfanatics]

I had to lol TBH.

There are 4 screws on the slam panel, 3 on each arch liner. Undo all of them they are all torx screws, then pop the arch liner out with a bit of force, at this moment you could 'slip one in' (no pun) if you can't fit your hand in (the gap in the arch that is), you will need to undo a bolt either side which attaches bumper to front wings, undo these and hey presto! the whole bumper comes off...... although my bolts were seriously stuck so it may be a struggle.

Get Halfords to do it?!?! :lol:

I prefer a slippery tight entrance to having my trousers pulled down by halfords for a bumming
