Mk3 Xtr Fog lights.

(18-02-2016, 04:33 PM)Opensauce Wrote:  Do you have the handbook? bulb change described in there. You have to remove whole foglight to change bulb so same as for changing complete foglight. Use the long torx driver which should be in toolkit with wheel brace stored with jack under driver's seat. You have reach behind valance to get to back of foglight, pull off connector, then with torx driver & using torch, locate screw in bottom of foglight. Once screw is out, whole unit is removed from front & you can change bulb. After refitting, stick screw to driver with blutack to get it back in. Your hand will hurt afterwards.

Cheers mate- I`ve just done it now but via the wheel arch liner (didnt read this before as the daylight started going).
Ended up removing the 3 plastic panel fasteners, the 10mm sump guard bolt and then just peeling it back until i got my arm underneath. The rest was a bit of a struggle to see/do the rest.
I`ll know next time what to do though!! ha ha

Also, I`ve noticed some water ingress into the light unit itself so I think this is probably why the bulb went in the first place... will try your method next time and dry the units out in the drying cupboard.....

Cheers!
