Hi all, I need some help on how to change the front fog light bulb on my 204 Sport (the bulb blew). Do I need to pry open the front circular clear cover, or need to take it out from behind the front bumper?

Use a torx screw to unscrew the three screws that are securing the mesh around the fog lamp. As soon as you remove the mesh you can replace the bulbs from behind. Then do the process in reverse.

Oh My God! Hopefully you didn't "pry" anything. It scared me just thinking about it.

Do you have the Sport/AMG model or the luxury/avantgarde model?

Yes I can help, you have the model where the grill has no screws only one hole with an allen key, do not mess with it because it aligns the light.

If you want to only remove the bulb you need to lie under the car remove the clips that holds the wing liner to the bumper and sneek your hand between the liner and bumper and rotate the bulb firmly till it dismantles u can see it through the lens of the fog light.

If you want to remove the whole thing it is kept in place by 4 plastic clips that hold it to the bumper similar to the clips that hold the front grill. You need to sneek your hand to the back of the lamp and press each clips gently one at a time pushing the housing forward as u push the clips to dislodge it from the bumper you press on the clips towards the centre of the lamp be careful not to break the clips...

Thanks for the info, I was going to replace them but haven't had a chance as yet, now I know how I'll take another look at doing so.

Thanks once again

you can't just replace the bulb. You have to replace the entire lenze assembly. Correct me if I am wrong...

The bulb only can be replaced. Assembly does not have to replaced each time.

I am sorry to say you are wrong, you can change the bulb only without the lens, it is a H11 halogen 55 watt bulb, it comes in different colours and makes you can change it without removing the assembly, and definitely do not remove the circular trim around the lens, you need to access the back of the lamp which is easier on the right hand side than the left because of the windscreen washing fluid reservoir. You need to lie on the ground and remove the pin clips that holds the wing liner (the front end) with the underneath part of the bumper. And after removing the clips force your hand between the bumper and wing liner and rotate the back end of the bulb anti-clockwise you can see through the lens till the spokes disengage from the bulb housing. You can then remove the plug from the bulb from under the bumper. Fitting is reversal of dismantling.
