Fog lamps
One of my front fog lamps is out. I checked the owners manual with regard to replacement and it says 'refer to your Citroen dealer'. Surely it cant be that difficult can it? Haven't had a chance to have a look yet but I'm hoping it's just a matter of crawling underneath the car and not a bumber removal or something as daft.

On the face-lifted Xantia, dealing with the fog lamps is a real pain. I´ve managed to replace a bulb in the o/s one but only with the loss of a lot of hand skin. If you remove the wheel arch liner and loosen off the washer tank, you´ll just about manage from the rear of the bumper. To remove the unit altogether, it will mean taking off the bumper.

I have replaced the whole unit on the nearside it's a squeeze, and needs the unit turning round a few times to make it through the angles, but can just be done without removing the bumper. I think the offside would be impossible.
The bulbs fit in a simple twist off holder, turn it 90 degrees and it pops out but if you stick your head under the front (you may need a torch) you'll see why Haynes refer you to the Citroen dealer.
