I changed my passenger side one last weekend . I realised you need to remove the bottom trim to access the light but ive just moved house so all my tools are boxed.
But theres just enough room to doit was a little difficult and scratched my hand but only a few mins work and it was in. So i bet you could fiddle the drivers side in also!

Do you mean the black trim behind the bumper mate?

So you didnt need to take the bumper off etc

Yep i managed it with everything in place! I only did the passenger side so i carnt coment on drivers.
I just pulled the passengers side up the kerb for more room underneath its fiddly but you can get your hand in and twist the old bulb out and twist the new one in.
As you face the fog light there is a gap in the black plastic trim just to the left and you should be able to go in there . Let me no if you manage it and if the drivers side is easy to access cause now i have to diffrent shade bulbs i want to change the drivers old yellow one

Hi again mate, all done! I jacked the car up at the drivers side which lifted the passanger side up enough too.

I did the passanger 1st like you said, its tight and fiddly but managed it in the end.

The drivers side is a tad different, you dont go throught the side like on the passanger side, ull have to jack it up and have a look under, ull see where the backing splits, i just pulled it down and got it from underneath, its just as simple as the passanger side tbh mate, only difference is you go in from underneath and not the side, hope this helps

Tom.
