Anyone Changed A Os Rear Fog Unit On A Mk7

[jamesjay]

As per title I need to change the unit got a broken lens (another victim of parking in the supermarket)...according to the owners handbook it is not a serviceable item. If anyone can let me know how it is attached to the bumper and if it's easy to detach then I can decide to order one or let it be changed at the next service which is next year and a good deal of bad weather away.

Thanks in advance

hi there james there is a tab on the back of the light that you press in and it will come out you can reach it with your hand by lying down under the rear bumper hope this helps

Thanks for the reply Mark...had a go at it today but couldn't find a tab...there was 2 torq self-taping screws holding mine in place, mines a 59 reg, don't know why my handbooks says "The rear fog lamps are not serviceable items, please consult your dealer if these fail" because you can change the bulb without removing the whole of the unit.

Anyway for anyone needing to change theirs...there is one screw under the wheel arch just under the inner arch, and the other is on the opposite side of the unit that is very awkward to get at...am going to change the torq screws for something easier to unscrew.

Best wishes

James.
