    Replacing Rear foglight - how to access it ?

    OK - like an idiot I reversed into a tree while parking in the dark. In my defence, I was aware of a steel post behind me which I thought the reversing beepers were complaining about but I totally did not see the so$$ing big tree even though my wife was saying "mind that tree" Rolling Eyes

    Anyway, the damage was minimal and amounted to a broken foglight and a bruised ego.

    I have sourced a replacement foglight unit but I need to figure out how to replace it. I am assuming that I need to remove the bumper cover somehow. It's been a bit too dark and cold to look properly at it but I was hoping that someone on here can point me in the right direction and save me from shelling out for a Topix subscription.

    Thanks
    -Martin

    Easiest thing is to look on YouTube, as several videos on there about bumper removal. Cheaper than a Topix subscription.

    Good point ! Thanks - I should have checked that first. Embarassed

    There is one there for a MY19 which has a slightly different bumper. I'm sure it can't be that much different though and looks simple enough. I'll have a poke around over the weekend

    Hi All - I can't believe it took me 4 months to actually get around to fixing this, It was relatively easy to do after all but needed some "faith" to get the relevant clips undone without any damage to bodywork.

    There is a decent video on YT showing how to do it on pre MY21 models but MY21 clips are a little bit different but the principle is the same. I must admit that I ended up paying a few ££ for a single access to Topix which was worth it since the main bumper clips pull off in a different direction compared to the YT video. That probably saved me from causing some nasty damage. Bow down

    Anyway, it was pretty simple to un-screw and unclip one half of the bumper cover and then unscrew and swap the fog-light.

    Took me about 1h to carefully remove the bumper and swap the foglight. about 5 mins to fit everything back Laughing
