Alternatively I believe it's a couple of screws accessible from inside the bumper

Makes access a lot easier if you take the front wheel off and jack it up as high as you can. Not perhaps in that order though....

There's an access panel (held on with torqs) I think - as the bumper returns underneath and before the wheel arch. You can see the washer bottle up there too.

Not sure if this will get you full access but it's only a couple of mins to check - I remember having a look on mine.

I think i remember reading in they HBOL that the light itself is fixed on with three 10mm nuts

i noticed the same problem, and solved it by leaving the fogs on for a while the heat must do something. But its ironic however that the fog lights have fogged up, it would be like a fire engine catching fire, and then the breakdown recovery veichle suffering mechanical problems on the way.

Found the screws underneath but can't see how it comes out. It seems to be located on something above the light. Any suggestions?
