Hey all,

Just realised that when i try the foglight switch, nothing seems to happen when the lights are off, or the parkers/headlights/high beams are on.

Any idea what the easiest way to get to the fog lights is? I don't really wanna remove the whole bumper, and don't have an area at my house where i can safely jack the car up.

Hey mate, just take the bar off mate you do not need to jack it up just turn the wheels to make it easier to access guard liner clips. Check its not just the fuse first though.

Thanks man, i'll give it a go!

I'm usually just concerned about removing bumpers because my VT bumper destroyed itself when i tried to put it back on :/

There's probably a thread on here somewhere showing how to take one off the VE though :)

They are not as easy as a VT but still not bad. Im sure there will be something on here about it.
Good luck champ

If you have access to car ramps, just remove the lower tray behind the bumper.
