Hi mate, good to see you found your way onto here too!

Haha hiya there mate. ye well it came up in the google search results so thought id check it out. While your on mate you dont know the best way of changing the front fog lights do you? mine have cracked and ive got a new set , tried getting to them yesterday but just couldnt find a way in :S

Sure, first you need to prise out the indicator use a cloth and a large bladed screw driver and prise from in between the fog and the indicator, you'll see what i mean once you start it, it (indicator) will pop out as it has a clip holding it in place.

 

Then remove the 4 screws you'll now be able to see, worth replacing the screws too here, the back of the fog light itself has a removable grey coloured cover.

Remove the cover then you'll see where the wires are attached to the light, it's far easier to swap these onto thenew fog loght than trying to feed the whole fog loght wire with plug attached behind the bumper, trust me here lol!

 

if all the screws come out ok it'll take 15 mins to do both sides :)

 

Good luck.

Welcome also.

 

Over the past eighteen months there's been a surge of new North west based Corrado owners, so you're never too far away from help or advice. We're touching distance to Wigan and fingers crossed will be making the short journey over to the north west meet. Make sure you pop along. But in the mean time, some words and pictures would be great.

 

All the best, James
