Title: changing fog lights
Post by: rowlers on 29 September 2007, 13:35

Anyone know if the bolts holding the fog lights in are accessible from under the engine bay?

Does the bumper have to come off?

Hoping it is a nice quick swap jobby :wink:

the bracket is held on with 2 13mm bolts, which usually are more likely to come out.  Bumper has to come off though, 2x 17mm bolts :)
