Default Fog light bulb replacement 2.0T?

Does anyone know of a way to replace fog light bulbs without removing the front bumper cap on B7's with charge air intercoolers?

I can not see how to get behind the fog light without either moving the intercoolers or removing the bumper cap.

Thanks.

It depends if you have S-Line or not. With S-Line you can just take out the black plastic fog surround. If non-S-Line, you have to take off the bumper.

Thanks. I'm afraid I have the basic cap with molded in fog light surrounds.

I am thinking about replacing the S-Line fog Bracket with RS4 Mesh Bracket. so I can just take out the S-Line fog Bracket just like that without any other procedures to be done?

I think I have to glue the RS4 Mesh Bracket on...thats what keeping me from doing the conversion.

Yeah... the bracket is just held in place with tabs going behind the bumper, so it's real easy to pull out. But I think you're right about the RS4 mesh having to be cut and glued to fit.
