Now if you switch to LED's and they burn out it's not as easy. Yup whole front of car has to come off.

Thanks, any idea how to release the wire connector from the bulb on the fog light. Can't see it and pulling it is not it.

You need to squeeze the connector then pull straight out. I had to use pliers on mine as they were pretty tight.

Going to move this to the Fixing Problems/Issues area. Trying to do a little cleaning up here in the Countryman subforum until somebody volunteers to help out.
