Technical Cross nearside fog lamp bulb fitting.

[murphyv310]

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.

Is there a hatch on the inside of the wheel arch

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

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.

Is there a picture or drawing of the mounting points for the cross front bumper?

Sheese Murphy that’s ridiculous, sounds like someone formerly employed by Citroen is working in Fiats design department, the bar steward

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) 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

Hi.
Is there a link to the Cross or City Cross front bumper drawing or even something with all fixing points?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi.
Just wondering if anyone has removed a Cross front bumper? The main question is are the fog lights accessible to remove with the radiator in situ.

Handbook says done through the wheelarch access hatch...

. Thanks for the info. I honestly didn't think it possible to get to the nearside lamp that way.
To be fair I could only just reach it, if my arms were shorter it would have been impossible.

Thanks to all who has helped, again you learn something every day.

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

Yes! They didn't give me a copy of the separate handbook supplement for the Cross.

Or my mats, come to that!

My 2018 handbook includes the 4x4 and Cross in the main manual

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.

No need to apologise - always very happy to help.
