Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
I was wondering if anyone knew a way of changing the passenger side fog light in a different manor?! I physically cannot get my chunky arms/hands in to this bulb using this method. Would it require the wheel to be taken off?! Water bottle removed?! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I currently have one standard fog light and one bright white one. Needless to say, I won't be using the fogs until I can get the passenger side swapped.

I ended up getting some of these:

Not fitted them yet, will be doing that tomorrow. Should be plenty bright enough though.

I changed mine on Wednesday the only way I could get the n/s fog was to push out the black surround from behind (small enough gap under the fog and water bottle)/ then take out the three torx screws hold the fog light to bumper. I used h8 55w ice blue to match main and dipped ice blues
Managed to get mine done yesterdaday, if you have headlamp washers the washer bottle is larger capacity which makes this a right PITA !!!!
I had to jack the car up, remove the wheel, remove 10 screws holding on the lower wheel arch liner and remove the lower washer bottle fixing. Without the lower washer bottle nut removed there isn't physically enough room to remove the bulb it's that close.
A tip for putting the bulb back in. Lie under the bumper parallel to the number plate and offer up the bulb with your left hand. Then look through the fog light lens until you see the bulb tip which will help you manouvre it into place. When it is sitting square rotate it until the upper tab of three is pointing upwards - it is then locked in placee and the connector will be pointing downwards. Replacing the connector is tricky but the locking clip faces rearwards towards the engine.

That was one VCDs tweak I couldn't get working for some reason
maybe a revisit is on the cards 
Before and after shots :-
I know it's an old thread but what bulbs did you use please?
I used Philips crystal vision when I did mine.
Just taken them out as changed the car and they don't fit the new one.
Looked very similar the ones in the pic
I bought them from Horizon LEDs. I am unable to send pictures as I only have 2 post but believe me you won't be disappointed as I have them on as cornering lights and it looks good. The spec is in the previous post.
Hope this helps
Here you go a picture of what the led fog lights look like in my avatar picture.
