Mutlyhehe Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Been a victim oof supermarket parking and someone has hit the drivers side rear fog light. The unit needs replacing and the old one was hit so badly i had to pull it off to save it falling off. Now i have purchased the spare but would like some help/advice on fitting this...how easy is it etc where are the screws located. Model is Fiesta MK7 58 plate Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrex Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had exactly the same job to do on our 59 plate Fiesta last weekend - I'm afraid it is not an easy job at all, I had to enlist the help of iNath! You can't get in underneath because the exhaust is in the way, so we removed the mudflap and the wheel arch lining. Still couldn't get to it so removed the screws under there for the bumper (can't remember where exactly or how many, I'm sure Nath can chip in), then the screws under the rear light. We didn't want to force the bumper off the mounting clips so I pulled it back enough so Nath could get a small rachet in to undo the screws holding the fog lamp in. It took a whole afternoon and is very fiddley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutlyhehe Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sounds like fun then lol Especially as its just turned cold :( Would point out that its drivers side so dont think the exhaust will casue an issue Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Would point out that its drivers side so dont think the exhaust will casue an issue Petrol or diesel? Petrol is definitely on drivers side as I kept hitting my head on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Diesel is on the o/s too >.< They're a pain in the rear, I put one on the left side and it was bad enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutlyhehe Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 So if Ford have offered to change it for £30 (as i have the part already) it sounds like a good idea to let them fiddle with it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
