Smashed driver's side fog light

[lard44]

Just got to work to find my driver's side fog glass has shattered!

It doesn't look tooooo complicated to replace once I've got the unit (I assume you can't buy the glass separately) - but how do I get the grilles off to get in? Do they pop out or do I have to go in round the back thru the engine bay?

Anyone done this on theirs?

Thanks in advance,
P

so many car get this wish ther was some covers/protectors you could get, had this happen twice on my fiesta, and the last time was just when i tried to sell it, and yes you have to buy the whole thing.

Been on to the stealers - £72 or so (that's including the VAT)

Shocking!

So how easy does the old grille come out? I haven't tried to take it out yet...

Shocking, is one way of putting it!

If it's an FR they just pull out

there dead simple some have 1 screw some just pull. Usualy the honeycomb (FR) ones come out dead easy the slatted ones have 1 screw behind (phillips I do believe) and then they 2 pull out.

Cheers for that - pick it up on Friday (hopefully)

Wanted it changed before the MOT next Monday but if it doesn't come I'll just take the old unit out and leave it.
