Flies in the front bumper lights

[conaero]

If you have noticed, like me, a fly party going on in both your front bumper side light clusters, follow Safranes guide below:

You can access the fitting bolt via a small access hole in the rear under tray covered by a rubber bung. You will nees a 10mm socket and extension as well as a magnetic holder to stop you loosing the bolt.

Mask up the bumper to prevent scratches when you pull it out. The bugs can be removed using a good vacume.

They get in by the vent holes, but if you cover them the light will mist up.

Thanks to Safrane for his guide.

Can anyone be more specific on the access point for these lights......(previously advised.......You can access the fitting bolt via a small access hole in the rear under tray covered by a rubber bung). I have a small potato field growing in mine AND a few insects!

I would also like to know exactly how to remove the foglight.

 

[Parisien]

No...it appears to be just for indicators lights...to answer my own question

Well looking at the Eurspares diagram, the bolt runs fore / aft to fix the fog lamp.

That being the case, if the access panel in the under tray is not immediately visible, dropping the whole tray is the work of about 10 minutes, and will probably make the fog light removal easier as well.

The undertray is remove simply by undoing every fixing you can see. Nothing complex at all.

That's what I'll do then, they don't make bulb changing easy on these do they!

No indeed. The manual is full of references to taking it to the dealer for bulb changes!
