VY Calais Fog Light bulb change

[DD Calias]

Does anyone know how to change the right Fog light globe, on VY11 calais, service manual says send it to the dealer, Max Ellery's not to helpful. I stuck my head under there and I don't know.

From memory you have to remove the plastic surround around the light which clips out and remove the light itself.

The plastic light surround removes by squeezing it pretty hard as it has tabs that go under the trim surrounding it. Then just undo one screw from the chrome bezel surrounding the fog light and it comes out easily. While it is out consider putting in HID as i did, WOW what a difference and a much whiter light too.
Good Luck.

Thanks guys. I think it might not be that simple, it looks like the whole air intake grill on the bottom has to come off, before I can get at it.

thanks anyway DD calias

no read my post above i have done it just last week

Sorry Gottavycalais. Looks like the front bumper needs to come off (at least the right side) according to the Techs?? at Holden, booked in. about 30$ including bulb.

i think you are being taken for a ride. just squeeze the chrome bezel and then undo 1 screw and its off! easy as pie!

Just had another look at it. The Chrome bezel is glued to the lower grill. it is all one.

ok maybe a series 2 calais is different to a series 1 in the front fog light area? sorry for the confusion. $30.00 is cheap but the front bumper is only held on with 7 screws so maybe do it yourself? good luck whatever you decide

Cheers thanks anyway. "Safe drivin"

My VY 2 Berlina was fitted standrad with VY 1 Calais lower bumper insert and fogs. I'll check out if I can do what you suggest over the next day or so. I suspect the VY 2 lower grille might be a one piecer.
