Front Fog Lamps

[bluerazor]

Hi to everyone
I've just noticed that my Fog lamps are not working
My Haynes manual should and hope should arive soon BUT
in the meantime can someone out there tell me how to replace the bulbs?
Mine is the Disco2 and looking at the front bumper it looks all sealed.
With Thanks
Vince:rolleyes:

D2 1999-2002? if it is then just remove the caps at the back and replace the bullbs. real easy, but check there is no water in them as they are usually broken being so low on the valance. if a D2 2002-2004 then not sure soz.

Hi Nik thanks 4 the reply
yes it's a 2001 model similar to your photo
So you mean i have to jack up the front of the car and get behind the spots Right?

I don't think you will need to jack up the car, but you will get improved access if you turn the steering wheel fully to the right, when you do the left hand foglamp and vice versa.

Rave says something like this:-
Bulb Replacement

FRONT FOG LIGHTS
The front fog lights are mounted on the rear of
the front bumpers and are shielded from behind
by the lower wheelarch liners.
Access is severely restricted and will entail lying
beneath the centre of the vehicle at the front and
reaching between the wheelarch liner and the
back of the fog light.
To access the bulb, remove the cover on the
rear of the fog light by twisting it anti-clockwise.
Spring clips (similar to those in the headlights)
hold the bulb in place. Unhook the clips to
release the bulb from the light unit, then pull the
bulb from the connector. Because access and
vision are severely restricted (these operations
must be carried out largely by ‘feel’), it may be
helpful to first examine the way in which similar
spring clips in the headlight unit retain the
headlight bulb.
Before fitting the replacement bulb, note the
‘flat’ on the otherwise circular shape of the bulb
mounting flange. The flat acts as a key to enable
correct positioning of the bulb in the light unit.
NOTE: Do not touch the bulb glass with your
fingers. If necessary, clean the bulb with
methylated spirits.
