Quick question.....

Can anyone confirm what type of Bulb the Front Fog Light on an M Sport model uses?

Is it an H7 like the Halogen high / low beam ones use? The manual doesn't specify this!

Thanks for clarification Guy's - how easy are these to change?

not sure how similar the M tech bumpers are to stock bumpers from the back...but on the non M tech bumpers in an easy swap..

this DIY for the non M tech bumper is great...let us know if this works for you as well... GL

I used this topic last week.Yes, this can be a guide although some screw locations are different.You have to raise the car by jack so you can remove the small bottom cover. Be careful when pulling the fender liner to remove the bottom cover. I pulled mine a bit too far and the clip of the airducts unfastened...took me an hour to put it back. Hope this helps. Cheers
