Have got a bulb out on one of my fog lights. What bulbs do they take and how do they come off to change bulbs  :-/

I find it far easier to remove the 3 torx screws for the plastic grille beside the fog, then remove the only screw holding the fog lamp in its mounting, lets you get the dust cap off easily and change the bulb.

Not all bumpers allow you to use that method - but great if you can :y
