Also HID's are illegal unless they are self levelling


And, I believe, you also need to have headlight washers.

Changing the Foggies?

Postby Sentinel » Sat Apr 25, 2009 3:41 pm

Fitted the LED parkers fairly easily today, but the foggies? Hmmm, how does one get access without taking the bumper off??

Peel off the inside wheel lining crap and i think the plastic under tray. It's just a few clips I believe.

Although I don't think wriggling and fiddling around under your car would be such a great idea for a tall bloke with a bad back like yourself. lol. Ask one of your kids to do it. :lol:

Its an absolute snack Sentinel (much easier than the bloody parkers (big hands)). Dont worry about the inside wheel lining, just lie on ya back and look under the body below the foglights, there is a plastic undertrayt section held by only two clips. Remove them and bend the plastic tray down. The rear of the fogs is revealed and you can reach up and twist the fitting to remove them.

For MY07 onward this is a 5 minute job each side. Any longer and you're not doing it right. :D
