W210 Facelift Front Fogs

[jimmymidnight]

A bit of a school boy question, but im having one of those moments...

whats the best and quickest/easiest way to change the bulbs in the front fogs on a facelift W210?

Thanks

Don't know for sure, but I think on the 211 it's an undertray-off job. I'll bet yours is the same story.

Remove the plastic inner wheel arch trim via the rusty bolts attached to it. turn your wheel as far right/left as it will go, and you should have good access.

Failing that, remove the front bumper and go in that way.

Don't know about yours but on the E300TD there is a panel that open on the undertray that give you access to the rear of the light. You need to crawl under but its easy. I guess it would be the same for you.

That's the same as the E55 I had. 5 min job.

There's a small flap (trapdoor) under each side of the bumper below the light. I found it very fiddly. You will be doing it by touch not sight. My bumper was barely 4 inches off the ground at this point, so it would be difficult to crawl under there.

Panel underneath right sod to do as you need a wrist capable of bending 180 degrees, probably a good idea to park it of a kerb or similiar to make it easier.
Might not be the bulb as the little plug in the bottom the contacts corrode luckily mine cleaned up okay.
