I assume you are referring to the lower foglights in the bumper? Anyways, not exactly sure for the C36, but on my '43 you really need to just remove the bumper altogether unless you have midget hands. Basically, you can just detach the foglight assembly from the bumper piece, and then pop the lens off and replace the bulb. Hope that helps

i converted my stock c43 foglight bulbs to HIDs recently without doing anything but partially removing the splash guard and reaching up there- i'm not much of a midget either (6' 185 lbs)

Before you fix your foglight bulb, there is a nice C36 turbo kit for sale in this forum

Joking aside congrats on the purchase. Post some pics if you get a chance.

Left Fog light problem

..........Hello everyone, I am new to the thread as well. I just got a white 1998 c43 and it is great; however, I am having problems with the left fog light. Does anyone have a clue why the left one only works sometimes? Does it mean I should change it? Please help me out.

Have you seen the size of midget hands? they are pretty fat and wide so i guess you have to remove the bumper regardless
