Title: how to remove gti big bumper fog lights?

As above. I can see the screw bit which is missing but can't get the whole light out. And DIY guides or tips and hints

easier to do with the bumper off, but not impossible with it left on however you might want to jack it up

remove it complete with the mounting bracket aswell, will make things easier

the mounting bracket is held on with 2 coach bolts, the nuts can be reach from behind the bumper, iirc theyre 13mm

hope that helps!

You should be able to remove the light quite easily. Jack up the car so that you can actually get your face in there. Then there should be a flat head screw that keeps it in place. Remove this and then on the other end from the screw there is a lug that fits into the bracket. There should be enough play to push it further in and then wiggle it out. Might take a bit of deft handedness but it does come (or at least does on mine).

Cheers.

my lights were stuck fast in the brackets, brackets needed to come off complete as it was easier  :grin:
