Hi,

 

I know I need to get the front black lower plastic grill thing off (the little ones) but I can feel two clips. One connects it to the longer middle grill and that clip I have done but the other is on the bottom and I can barely touch it let alone push it hard enough to unclip..spent 20min trying to do it and just gave up cos thought there must be an easier way to change my fog light bulbs? I just can't undo the clips, it's nearly impossible for me..

 

Thanks

If you look in the Manual it should tell you how to change a bulb. Different I know but on my wifes CitiGo you go in through the wheel arch covers.

 

Is yours the same ?

no on mine you have to remove part of the lower grill but I can't get it unclipped and don't want to break it..

Anyone know..?? I've been trying for the last hour and I've given up now :/

Try using a flat bladed screwdriver HOWEVER put a soft cloth over it so it doesn't catch the paintwork. Oh and don't be too gentle.

I tried that but the screwdriver doesn't reach the clip as the clip is in a position where only my fingers can reach as I have to poke them through the grill and the clip is on the bottom somewhere where only a child with stick fingers could probably reach lol, it's either nearly impossible or i'm doing it wrong.. There must be a way to do it though, i'm usually pretty good when it comes to these things

take a photo for us please so we can see what you're working with?

It takes a bit of pulling, but it won't (or shouldn't) break!!

 

Once the first clip is separated, just pull... Just a little BFI is needed!! they will come off!!

 

I panicked the first time I took mine off, but, after bending a thumb nail back twice, lots of swearing and shutting my eyes when I pulled... it came away no problems!!

Trust me i tried pulling, i can't even get the clip to move, it's so frustrating. Spent over an hour trying to unclip it and take it off but nothing seems to work...

Come on guys someone on here must know how to change a fog light or drl on a monte carlo..........

The only way to remove the fog light/DRL is to pull the small part of the grille out next to the light unit.

I know you've said you've tried but it does just pull out relatively easy then there's a clip on the light unit that you push in and the light should just pop out.

There's nothing more or anything different you can do, it is just a case of pulling the grille out first, it even shows you in the manual how to do it.

What type bumper is it ?

I couldn't work out how to get the fog light housing out on my monte the other day!

On The long grill in the bumper the ends by the fog lights just pull out, you can then get your hands in to press the catch that then releases the fog light.

I tried pulling but it feels like it's gunna snap, how many clips do I need to undo do because I can only reach one?

And it's just the standard Monte Carlo bumper, yeah the end bits come off but I can't seem to reach the bottom clip, it's so hard and if I undo the top one and pull it just feels like there's something holding it and it will snap

The part of the grille that needs to be pulled off has a kind of clip on each of the 3 horizontal fins then 1 on the left had side next to the light itself, I'm basing this on the driver's side DRL. Once you've pulled this off, it won't break as it's quite flexible, there's one clip that you push in behind the bumper and the DRL unit will literally pop out.

I've tried to take some photos with my IPad but the light in my garage isn't very good.

With a lot of pulling it finally worked lol, there was only one clip so it was just a case of pulling, thanks for the help. However my leds don't work hahah, i tried switching them around and twisting them but neither of them work, is it me fitting them wrong or are they broken?

Is it the fog light or the DRL bulb your changing ?

Make sure your ignition is on also lol

The drl, the leds i bought are p21w so they should work..they didn't say Drl in the description but said Reverse lights but they are the same fitting aren't they? They fit alright but yeah they don't work and yeah ignition was on lol

Try them on the other side or turning them around on the connectors

Tried them on as a reverse light and they work, but they don't work as a drl light but still fit..aren't they the same bulbs though or not?

Thank you. Have you tried them? How bright are they?

They're a similar type to mine, they look good fitted and fill the light unit and reflector well and do look like OEM LED lights.

Here's a daytime photo of them on so you get an idea what they look like.
