Hello, has anyone changed the foglight bulb with the M-tech front bumper? If so could you please give instructions.

Thanks

there is a DIY for headlight/angel eye/fog lamp installs. There are too many steps to list ... much easier to search the DIY section of the forum. Remember to use " " 's while searching.

its pretty easy but you do have to unscrew the top of the bumper, take the headlight out and stick your hand down in a very narrow area to get to the bulb. the diy's are great though

No, nobody has ever had to replace a fog light bulb here.

But if you do a search you will find loads of info on how to go about doing it.

And I do mine from below.

thats what she said...

if he does it from the top maybe he can learn more about the car and upgrade some other bulbs in the meantime.. I learned a lot doing the "remove" the headlight way, but i guess i was forced to as i added ballasts for hid and other stuff

here is how to replace the fog light. this is an instruction for the non-m bumper but it's similar. only difference is with the m bumper you will have to get your hand around the winshield water tank that is located near the m bumper.

also useful if you want to adjust the actual bulb and where it's pointing on the road.
