Replacing the lamp
Raise the car.
Unlock the protective cap and remove it from the fog lamp housing.
Squeeze the spring wire clip and fold it aside.
Remove the incandescent lamp from the reflector.
Disconnect the wire connector.
When installing a new incandescent lamp, the lamp base must fit precisely into the recess in the reflector.
Attach the spring wire bracket and mount the protective cap.
Removal the fog light
Raise the car.
Unlock and disconnect the wire connector at the rear of the fog light housing.
Remove the bumper, see the chapter on the body.
If only one fog light is being removed, it may be sufficient to loosen the bumper at the bottom and on the corresponding side. To do this, move the end of the bumper slightly away from the body.
Remove the three mounting bolts and remove the fog light from the rear of the bumper.
Install the new fog light.
Mount the bumper.
Then check the installation of the fog light.
Left: replacing the left fog light bulb. The numbers indicate:
1 - multi-pin connector;
2 - protective cap;
3 - incandescent lamp;
4 - spring wire bracket;
5 - wire connector.
Right:after removing the front bumper, you can unscrew the fog light from the back of the bumper.
Left: factory installed fog lights are only adjustable vertically. The photo shows the height adjustment bolt (arrow) for the left fog light behind the bumper.
Right:the headlight adjustment bolts are accessible from above or from the engine compartment. The left arrow shows the side adjustment bolt, the right arrow shows the height adjustment bolt.
Tip: Low-mounted fog lights are relatively vulnerable to stone impacts. Damage to the headlight glass reduces light output. It may therefore make sense to cover the glass with suitable covers when there is no fog.
