Alternatively I believe it's a couple of screws accessible from inside the bumper
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: front fog light removal
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....

Re: front fog light removal
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.

Re: front fog light removal
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.

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