Hi.
This is the cross version with the fog lights beside the headlamps.
Not low down on the lounge etc.

Hi.
Can someone tell me how to gain access to the fog lamp bulb on the nearside (RHD) on a cross. Looks like a bumper off job.

Well at least it’s not a Citroen requiring the radiator removed and the engine dropped from its mounts to change a headlight..
 
Definitely a bumper off job. I thought I might be able to get access from underneath but the radiator is in the way. So it might be able to remove the lamp once the bumper off but the radiator may still need to come out. Bad design in my mind and an expensive bulb replacement if you don't do DIY.

Time to fit a decent quality LED in both sides for reliability.

Sheese Murphy that’s ridiculous, sounds like someone formerly employed by Citroen is working in Fiats design department, the bar steward:mad:
 
Anyone ever tried to change a H7 bulb on the leftside of a Stilo? Or a Golf4 ?
My dealer charged 3/4 hour for the Stilo's rightside and 5/4 (1 1/4 hour:eek:) for chnging a bulb on the leftside. After much practice (they blew every 3 months) I was able to do both within 1/2 hour;)

Thank you.
Sadly there is no Cross bumper pictures. Just the standard type of bumper.
I'm thinking that perhaps the upper part of the bumper is separate from the main section. It may allow me to get to the front of the fog lights, here's hoping It is and I can gain access assuming the lamps come out from the front.

I am always slightly surprised by how many of my replies just quote the instruction book... am I the only person here with a copy?? (He says, tongue in cheek). But glad it helped :)

Ha Ha.
The dealer couldn't find the handbook for the Cross when I bought it. Eventually I got one. My own fault though for not looking.
Sincere apologies.
