cheers

are you doing it from underneath the front end mate? That's the way I did mine, remove the splash guards under front of bumper then reach up behind. Separate the lamps from the brackets first also or you'll never get them in, lol!

how do you remove the splash guards mate? lol i put the lamp in as i havent got the torx screws needed to hold the lamp in position, only got nuts n bolts. is it just gonna be harder with the lamp in...or impossible? anyone know if theres only one design of foggie brackets or have i got the wrong ones for my bumper?

thanks, russ

splash guards, simply remove the plastic screw type thing from underneath then just bend it down outta the way. Looking at that picture you've put up it looks nothing like mine, lol! Who/where did you buy them? ps I fitted mine nearly 3 years ago so I can't be 100%
