Changing the fog lights

I got a stone chip that smashed my foglight, thought it might be helpful if I let you know how easy they are to swap!
1) put vehicle on max height and full lock (right turn if d/s left full lock if p/s)
2) unscrew liner from wheel arch at front only, pop loose and tie back out of the way.
3) Unclip wriring loom from light - this is easier if you do an anti-clockwise twist and take the bulb out of the fog-light as there is a small catch that you have to release witha flat bladed screw-driver (look from on top of the bulb down the back of the connector and you will see it)
4) There are 4 screws holding the light in - all but three are difficult to access - but one faces the wheel - unscrew this completely.
5) Try and loosen the other three screws if you can, but if not its not a major problem as they are friction mountings only.
6) push the foglight from the front of the truck
7) Keep the screws as the new light does not come with them.
8) mount as reverse - use trial and error to get correct tightness on three friction screws then push in and lock in with last screw. Tighten
9) Screw back wheel trim.
Took me about 20 mins. try this at your own risk etc, but it worked for me.
(Replacement fog was £100.34 BTW.
