Fog light replacement

[Mike J]

Morning all Newbie here
SHMBO has had the front drivers side spots on her cooper broken. I have a replacement and am ready and willing to replace it !!!! All I need is someone to tell me how the Hell do I access the thing ????? Do I get to it via the wheel arch or do I need to remove the front bumper.
Any guidance gratefully received.
Mike

side lights or spot lights?

Morning Adam
Its the spot i think, its the lowest of the small lights below the headlight.

Ah, you mean the fog lights.

Spots sit on the grille between the headlights like in my signature below.

Morning...oh and welcome to MINI2!

the ones in the bumper? spot lights are mounted on the grill. the ones underneath the head light are side lights & indicators and the ones under those are the fog lights.

if you look in the wheel arch there should be a little bung type thing that twists out and i think you can then siply pull the bulb out and replace it.

Just ask me about my Mercedes
Thanks for the welcome and fast response.
I will need to access all of the light as the front lens has broken and I will need to replace the whole thing.

Oh i see what you mean now. Yea, the bumper will have to come off i think. Not too much of a job - 45 mins to get it off n same to get it back on.

why as about your mercedes??
