hay, sorry to be a pain but as i dont have a haynes, and cant find one i have to ask everything here.

one of my foglights is smashed but i have a replacment, how do i get the old one out and the new one in?? i cant work it out.

Cheers,
Ryan Edge
 
One screw in the top of the fog light recess and two screws under the front bumper.
Be careful as the screws can rust and snap the plastic bracket. If you look through the grille you can just see the screws poking up, give them a good squirt of release oil before trying.
The annoying thing is you have to take them out just to change the bulbs :(

thanks polcat, even tho i did this a few days ago it will benifit someone.

i'd like to add if one or more of the screws under the bumper is rusted apply lots of WD40 and allot to soak, then if you have already managed to remove one screw put it back in, this will stop the plastic twisting and snapping, then try and undo the rusted one, if you cant do it with a screwdirver get the biggest pair of grips you can find and use those, worked fine for me(y)
