Could anyone please tell me how to remove the rear fog lamp bulb from my Nissan Note? Can I just poke the fitting out with a screwdriver? |

the bulb is a capless 12v 21w the bulb holder just twists out of the fog light housing the fsm tells you to remove the bumper facia (shell) it wont prise out as its recessed into the bumper and you cant get to the rear of the fog light as theres a big foam block

Thanks for your response, Flash22! How easy is it to remove the bumper facia? It is just a case of removing 4 screws underneath the car?

Ye gods! Just to change a bulb. Where did the designers train? As bad as those French cars with the points at the bottom rear of the engine - is it Citroen? See Skoda Favorit for ease of bulb change.

no most modern car are like this now frank, on one the citroens you have to jack the car take the front wheel off take the wheel liner out just to change a headlight bulb !!!
points what are thay lol (joke had a few cars with points) modern cars have coil packs, ht leads are long gone now along with coils all the ignition and fuel is controlled by the ecu, electrics are now controlled by can buses so only 2 wires are needed for the whole engine system |

Hi Flash, I know that lemon you refer to, it can be done without all that, there's a round pop out cover to remove on the inner wheel arch, but it does test your dexterity skills to the max, I managed it in 10 minutes on a friends car but would not like to guarantee a return time, next bulb replacement. Putting the bulb in was fairly easy but putting the clip back in was a b***** of a job. regards dave s |

Flash22, I really appreciate the improvements in engine design and control, but if designers can't make simple jobs easy, like changing a bulb, then they're not very good at their job. Most people can make things complicated. Perhaps they're too proud to learn from Skodas because they've been the butt of so many jokes. On the subject of points, here's my favourite story about them: My daughter had bought her first car, a Micra, and wanted to know how to do simple servicing on it, so I took her through the plugs, points, brakes, etc. The following year she put it in for a service at a Bucks. garage and when she collected it she saw no tick on the checklist for points. On querying this she was told: "There aren't any points on this car", to which she replied: "Yes, there are." The mechanic still insisted there weren't until she said: "Yes, there are. Last year I changed them myself." Boom-boom. |

You can replace the fog lamp bulb by refering to the owners manual page 8-35, you prise out the lamp with a flat bladed screwdriver (protect the plastic from the metal tip by covering the blade with a cloth) from the lower right hand side, then you can twist out the bulb holder from the lamp assembly. regards dave s |
