Hi guys, I want to replace the fog light bulb to a 06 facelift CL9.
I found from the car manual that it needs to change from underneath of the front bumper. Just wondering is there any easier way to change it or do I have to lift up the car and do it from the bottom?
I have seen some guides for pre-facelift one, but I know it is different since the bumper is completely different. Any photo guides will be extremely helpful.
Any helps?
Thank you!

I'm pretty sure you could reach through the front grill right next to them... That's how I do it on my pre-face lift CL9. I thought you could do it the same way on the new ones. And all it would be is a screw holding it on place, undo that and it should pop out and then twist and replace. If you can't do that, then you can generally do it without jacking the car up, just fit your hand underneath and i'm sure you'll be right.. haha. That's all I can think of!

I tried but seems there aren't any screw around except underneath, maybe I missed somewhere?

If there's one from underneath.. then I'd say that's the one, it's most likely holding a plastic guard to the front bar? Undo the screw, you should be able to pry a little bit open and fit your hand through, you should be able to reach the light from there from what I can gather

Thanks for your suggestion! I will try but just the bumper is too low, I may jack one side of the car up to give more room.

The easiest way is to actually remove the front bumper...its actually much easier than you think to remove it. Check this video :)
