Default Fog light loose.

My driver side fog wiggles a lot -- does anyone know how they are held in place?

It hard to see exactly whats going on -- looking from the top. I see at least two mounts with rivets to the bumper cover ... can't see how the lamp fixture is attached to the mounts. The passenger side moves a tiny bit -- but that's at the rivet points and I don't see how to fix w/o drilling out and replacing the rivets .. my guess is they always moved a tiny bit.

3 screws, I believe combo fillips/hex head. Easiest done on ramps and sit off to the side a tad, lots of loose road dirt drops down.

Three -- must be one on the bottom as well ... can't get my hands down that low. See Jaguar did not provide an opening in the undercover for bulb changing -- so the under cover needs to come off.

This one is due for a coolant refresh -- so if the cover needs to come off to drain the radiator .....may wait and have my independent tighten them up and install new bulbs.

The front spot lamps are held in place by one fixing at each side and an adjuster at the bottom.
My adjuster was broken by a careless previous owner but I was able hold it in place with a small cable tie.
Here are a couple of photo's of the fixing's so you know roughly what to expect.


Good luck with your repair.
Enjoy The Luxury Which Is The X308.
