Is it possible to remove the whole fog light on an Msport bumper without taking the bumper off?
Can it be taken out by just dropping the flap under the bumper, as if you were to change the fog light bulb?

 

This should help you

Not exactly. Thats the SE bumper. The Msport one is a bit more awkward to work with.

 

Yes, its fairly easy. Under the foglight and bumper is an access pannel. You need to take off 4 screws in the wheel well spalsh gaurd and then the 2 on the bottom of the access pannel. Once you have that off you can see right into where the fog light is. I went in there to change the fogs to HID's a few months ago. Oh and jack up the car to get under it. It's a bit of a tight fit under there.

Still very similar, panels shaped a little different but access is still the same, although tighter.

 

And I can take out the whole fog light fixture, not just the bulb right?
Changed the bulbs before and its fine for that but will the whole light come out as easy? I know its like 1 screw holding it in but just wondering if there is enough room.

 

You need to take out several plastic trim pieces in order to get easy access especially on the driver side, if you have headlight washer the motor is sitting right above the wheel housing in the upper corner of the inside fender which makes access o the fog light much harder. There is a flat plastic trim that connects the 2 vertical pieces and you need to remove it.I didnt jack my car up I just had it sit on the curb!

 

No washer so should be better. Will put it on a ramp, like I did when changing the bulbs.
