Guys ,
Have had a search around on the internet and here and apart from some limited success about this I still don't think I am 100% sure of how I could , and how easy it would be , for me to remove and re-fit a new fog lamp on my CLK.
Found out it was smashed today (offside front) - just the glass but knowing how our manufacturers love sealed units I am pretty sure I can't just buy new glass for it so a replacement is called for.
My Merc dealer was quoting (albeit a salesman!) around £200! I know I can get the lamp/housing for about £55 or so so I am tempted to try and install it myself.
Bearing in mind it's got the AMG body kit/bumper am I right in thinking that if i go under the car there is a 'panel' somewhere I can remove easily and then stick my hand up to release the thing?
Is it simple or do I need special tools or what? I am not clear from everything I read that it is simple or not..slightly confusing. If someone has any experience of this I would love to hear some simple instructions... shame MB themselves don't publish any!
Thanks in anticipation...
Hopefully i have posted this in the right section...still a bit of a noob here but value the advice I have had an read in the past from you guys.
