Just wondering if anyone has had a successful crack at changing a front foglamp for the fabia VRS? Reading past threads suggests they are a little hard to change. My offside front foglamp has a nice crack right through the middle and needs to be changed; considered changing it myself. Any tips?

Think it is a front bumper off job, mate.

Easy to remove if you're careful. More info on doing a search.

Yeah, thought it was a case of taking the bumper off....argh....perhaps I'll just leave it for the dealer to do.

Are you sure it's a bumper off job... I got a replacement for the drivers side one on our 2001 estate and, whilst I didn't fit it myself I did check it out and it looked like it was dead straightforward, after having removed the adjacent black trim.

Cheers mate......i just can't be arsed to take my bumper off.

I take it this is only necessary to remove the fog lamp fitting and not to replace a bulb.....? One of my fog lamp bulbs is blown and I don't fancy removing the whole bumper to replace it :eek:

To change just the bulb you remove the trim around the fog light to get to the screw that holds the bulb holder in place...................I think it's a bit fiddly

The bumper off isn't a hard job either so don't be put off.

Do I remove it from the front? Does the trim just clip into place? I had a look at the weekend and couldn't get at the foglight from underneath.
