Default How do I replace Fog Light switches

Hi guys,

So I got a replacement Fog Light switch as the bulb has died in mine... how do I swap them over?

Amazingly, I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance!

Hope you didn't pay a lot, the bulbs are replaceable with very littel work and cost about £1.50. Asking on here would have got you instructions

To change switches, use a flat bladed screwdriver and a cloth pad. Insert screwdriver under switch, place cloth pad and lever old switch out. Or reach up from underneath the dash and push it out. Either method works.

Unclip wiring, that's it.

Thanks, I've had a quick look and will probably go in from the fuse box.

That's fine, I wanted a spare set in case I mess up replacing the bulbs, I'll then sell them on with brand new bulbs in

Do you know where can I get the bulbs from? They have to be the same colour or it will annoy me.

Bulbs aren't coloured, there's a filter in the switch.

These are they: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-096w-w...ent-type-wq13p

They do some coloured ones too: http://www.maplin.co.uk/search?text=...bulb&x=14&y=20
