front foglights-golf mk ii big bumper - darren sass
Can anyone give any advice on how to remove the foglights on a Golf GTI Mk II big bumper model?

I have recently bought the car and want to replace the foglights. I cannot see a way of removing the foglights without removing the bumper.

I have a Haynes manual but it does not give any advice/info re the foglights.

Any advice gratefully received.

Hi Darren.

I dont have A Golf but I have recently replaced the foglights on my corrado.

They had to be prised out with a screwdriver. The main fitting holding the fog light to the car was a little ball and socket joint. The ball fitting being on the lamp. A little pressure with a couple of screwdrivers (or other more approriate tool) dislodged it.

As I say, I dont know if there the Corrado's lights are the same fitting or not. Worth a look though I?

Ross

Bumper off, IIRC to get the fogs out. It's all done from in behind the bumper, not from the front.

I'm sure Guy will be able to confirm - oh sorry he doesn't get his hands dirty...
