Question Fog light bulb replace
I think that one day MB engineers looked over engine bay layout and got horrified of how easy it is to change a light bulbs in the headlights. And they have decided to compensate it by making fogs just simply unreachable.

Anyone got a clue how to do it without using services of Mr. Tooms from X-Files?

Good luck with this one. I think the front bumper cover needs to come off to change those bulbs.

I did them today. Very easy. 2 bolts and 1 plastic clip under each fog light. Open the panel and voila! Could not be easier. Forget about removing the bumper and all that s**t. Oh yeah, manual says H11's but they are actually H7 bulbs.
