So below please see the sequence of pics.
Before you start: Get your new bulbs ready (H8 35w), I used MTEC MT-471 (colour 4,750K). Don't forget - do not touch the glass part of the bulbs, if you do, use an alcohol wipe to remove any oil prints left from your fingers.
Also you need an 8mm Socket and ratchet wrench.
Lastly, turn the steering wheel as far as it goes one way. It doesn't matter which direction as once turned you can access both sides.
Step 1: Locate the 3 - 8mm headed screws (circled). Undo the outer 2 and remove the screws.
Step 2: Gently prise back the arch liner, revealing the rear of the fog light.
Step 3: Unplug the black plug, by squeezing the two tabs on the short sides.
Step 4: Twist the old bulb about 60 degrees towards the outside of the car, and ease bulb out, remembering not to touch the bulb part.
Step 5: Fit new bulb in the exact reverse order. Make sure the plug clicks into place.
Step 6: Enjoy the warm colour beam.
Step 7: Put the arch liner back in place, and fit the screws.
