    Question Changing front fog light bulb on 2001 Bora - how?

    hey guys,

    I've searched here and google for instructions on how to change the bulbs on the integrated front foglights on my Bora, but can't find anything. I bought some bulbs from Powerbulbs and changed the headlight bulbs easily but I've no idea how to do the fogs.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

    its very similar to the headlights. metal wire holding the globe in.
    Ill try and find a picture of the rear after work to give you a better idea of what your doing.
    EDIT: not mine but you get the idea:

    so you want the one with the blue wire, you can see the two metal wires holding the globe down. depending on the year of your bora will make a difference to if they go 'in' or 'out'

    ah great, thanks mate. So i guess i just take off the black cover and it should be ok. the blue wire on the h3 bulb, where does that get plugged into? I guess I'll see it once I take the cover off.

    theres a little spade connection from memery. its all pretty simple though.
    Back covers on the fogs seem to break easy, be gentle.. Otherwise you end up with a truck load of tape like me

    that's what i'm worried about! are there any tabs/catches to depress? it looks like there's one on the top.

    Which bulbs did you choose for the foglights? I have changed my main globes to Philips Xtreme's but still have stock foggies.
