Hi guys,
How hard is it to change the fog light bulb on the X-Type?

Thanks dudes

 

Humy, it is really easy. You reach up under the bumper, give the center part of the fog light a 45 degree twist and then pull out. The bulb is held in place with friction clips, so, you grab the bulb, pull straight out. Install is the reverse.

 

Thanks Thermo

 

This "operation" is shown in the Owner's Handbook.

 

Thx Thermo - this was an old post but allows me to fix another lighting problem.

*** Update***

My 2002 X-Type has a splash plate installed with SEVERAL torque screws on the undercarriage preventing me from easily reaching the fog light housing from underneath. I turned my tires to the inner limit and reached into the wheel well and removed the 3 lowest screws from the wheel well splash protector and pulled the protector gently out of the way. The fog lamp housing was then reachable. I turned the lamp holder 45 degrees to free it from the housing as Thermo had stated above. Replaced the old bulb (H1) with the new as Thermo described, put the lamp holder back in and turned to secure. Replaced screws in wheel well splash protector.

Whole process took about 15 mins.
