REMOVE BUMPER

Easy enough to do, remember to unplug both lights before trying to pull the bumper off.

REMOVE FOG LIGHT

Pinch barbs together on the adjuster and push in

Give the bulb holders a good spray with WD40 and gently work them loose

A bit of difference

I wound the adjuster out till it was roughly the same as the old one

Replace the bulb then just pop the lamp into place

The other side was in a bit of a state also

Replacing the bumper was just a reversal of removing (Don't forget to connect the plugs)

Much better....
