Replacement Front Fog bulbs

**technik** · 19-12-2015,07:31 AM

I've just got my GT with LEDs (standard) and think the front fog bulbs really spoil the look. If it didn't use them for the cornering of every time you reverse, I wouldn't bother, but I want to change them to LEDs to get the same white look. Has anyone done this? Wondered how hard it was to get access and also if it would create fault lights if I did?

I was wondering about that as well Technik. I have the level 2 LED headlights and thought the fog lights looked strange being a more yellow light. Anyone know if it's easy to change the bulbs or make them LEDs?

You do know that using fog lights in clear conditions irritates other drivers and marks you out as a muppet, don't you?

Oh, silly me for having a car that uses the fog lights as the static cornering function. I don't think the issue I have with the fog lights being yellow has anything to do with me wanting to drive around like a furry puppet, it was just a question about if the bulbs could be changed.

Thanks Technik. Where did you find the images?

From the online manual. Going to check it out today if I get a chance.

Might not be as simple. Mine seems to have a Torx screw in there which I haven't got a thin enough version to get through the hole. ��

Ok - here's a quick guide after I managed to change them in between the rain!

1.jpgThe hole on the front cover is to access an adjuster screw - not to remove the cover!
2.jpgHidden on the inside of the cover under the fin is a screw hole....
3.jpgThe screw can be removed with a flat head or a Torx 15
4.jpgAfter removing the screw - very gently prise the cover forward - you can use the hook tool from the toolkit, but I wouldn't put it in the front hole as suggested in the manual - prise top and bottom above and below the screw hole you have just removed the screw from.
5.jpgThe cover is clipped in top and bottom along it's length and finally slots behind the main trim with these two lugs.
