Removal of S-Type Sport 04 Fog-Light Help please

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this...

I'm looking at replacing the front-left (right as you look at it) fog-light, as the bulb has blown. I own a 04 2.7D Jag S-Type sport model with rounded fog lights.

I've looked over forums for Jags / S-Types, and the instructions all seem different and many relate to fog-light which appear to be 'wider' rather than circular as in my case. I've managed to take the front case / part of bumper off, exposing the bulb and some screws as follows:

(apologies that I've had to attach pics to a facebook site as I don't have access to any other file upload sites)

The thing is, I'm not sure what to do now in order to get the bulb out and replace it. I can see the 3 x white screws but I'm not sure if these are what I should undo to reveal the bulb. Any help at all would be much appreciated, the forum looks great. Thanks again for your help guys.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately you are trying to get in from the wrong side, to make life easier you'll need to undo the spash guard that runs round the bottom of the bumper;undo it from the wheel arch to about the middle of the bumper. It should drop down enough to allow you to squeeze your hand up to get to the bulb.The bulb is a twist fit into the fog light, so disconnect the wiring first, as bulb and holder are all one piece.
Make sure you buy the right bulbs as they are different from the earlier model of fog light and unless you buy from the "*******s" you'll probably get the wrong ones because the local motor facters know don't that they have been changed.

Hope this helps.

Witam pana,

I just delt with this on my R and decided to remove the entire foglight but still keep it between the bumper and splash guards as i can't pull it out. At least that way i get more room to remove the light bulb and attach connectors.
