They look like OEM fog lights. Here is a youtube video from 1A

Hi,

It's not OEM Fog lights, it's a French car , and it's the "position lights" .
The ones that you switch on when it's just a little dark.

i can't remove it from behind like your youtube video....

Best Regards

Re: How to change front bottom light

I brightened up the photo a bit so we can see the light you're referring to.

I'm thinking you can get to the bulb either from the top (in front of the radiator support) or from underneath. Either way, you're going to have to remove some of the plastic panels. I'm sorry I'm not much help.

Is that light a factory installed light for export models only?

Re: How to change front bottom light

Took time to look at today ...
Remove the four screws of the black grid.
Then push the up of the light to have him looking a little to the sky.
There is a bottom screw... in the middle.
