How to Install Fog light Kit Outside

Kit out of box





First Remove the flaps under bumper, One Screw Two Studs (both sides)








Then undo the screw and stud for the arch cover and carefully unclip cover to wing. (Both Sides)



Then remove two bolts and two studs on the underside of the bumper and the screw at the top of the bumper behind the arch cover, then gently prise off bumper, its just clipped across the top.



If you have headlight washers you will need to detach pipework and cap to avoid loosing all your washer fluid.



The inside of the bumper is stamped where the holes go so drill small pilot hole



Then drill 20mm holes from the outside, remove plastic covers and fit fog lights using bolt supplied,



Remove more studs from inside offside wheel arch to move liner enough to get behind washer bottle and locate blue cable with loose connector and attach light loom





Feed loom across front and attach earth cable



Clip to inside of crossmember and through to nearside



Refit bumper connecting fog lights and reattaching washer hose reversing above procedure.


Inside

Remove end trim from dash and remove screw



Prise off lower dash cover and locate mounting bolt



Fit relay bracket attach relay and plug blue cable into switch loom (Relay centre bottom Connector centre top)



Remove multiplug from above fuse box (second one up) and fit two cables from loom into plug, refit plug and put supplied fuse in number 6



Remove three screws under steering wheel and remove cowling,
Remove screws in stalk and replace with one in kit.



Box it all back together and there you go mission complete.

Brave man, that looks like major surgery to me!

I'm mightily impressed with your work.

What is the unit in the 13th photo near the left hand wheel, is it a second horn? I seem to have two but one is at the left hand side and one is at the right.

I`ve got headlight washers which has a bigger bottle so there`s probably no room on the offside for the horn.
So have I, so why are they located in different places?
AH!!!! In the 5th picture you can see the other horn is it possibly the alarm :?: :?: :?:

It`s Dead easy only took 1 1/2 Hours and that included taking the photos, it comes apart dead easy most of it is just clips (too much really). How the dealers can charge ÂŁ150 is beyond me.

Well done mate, I'm massively impressed also with your efforts......and bloody glad mine came with them as standard!!!!

Now, as you are clearly very good at taking perfectly good cars apart for fun, can you get cracking on sorting an iPod solution please!!!???

Oh, and your photos are very explanatory too.....good job! 8) 8) :D

I am planning on fitting front parking sensors, so the guidelines on how to remove the front bumper are really helpful. Anyone got any ideas of how to route the wires from the bumper back inside the car? If I can find that out, I am almost certainly going to fit them myself and I will make the How-To

I guess is not a too friendly forum this one ... no one replied ...

Anyway ... the fog lights are H11 ... maybe someone will need to know this in the future (and find this info in the appropriate topic)
Friendly - yes.
Do we know everything - no.

:)

thanks

hi, thanks for this mail. Do you happen to know if I can buy the loom seperate since I bought a pair of lamps but these did not have the wire loom. As it seems, the wire looms fits into a connector that is situated somewhere in the wheel arch. Personnally I see this location as a stupid design proposal since I cannot understand why one should need to dismantle half of the car's front to add a very common post sales accessory. But one can never understand why today we seem to be making things more complex

however, thanks again for your interest in replying
