Fit fog lights to a C4? | |
Fog Light Installation Guide Fitting Time: 1 Hour Tools: Couple of Screwdrivers, and jack. Difficulty: Easy, although small hands would help in the tight spots Overview: Having ordered my new Fog lights on Ebay, they arrived yesterday, and were fitted to the car today. The box comes with: 2 x Fog Lights 2 x New Grille Inserts 1 x Instruction Manual The box also includes a couple of cable ties and a small fog light sticker to put on your indicator stalk laug! Installation is relatively easy, as with a bit of patience and care the front bumper does not have to be removed, although to gain access to the underside of the car a jack is a required. The first job is to remove the current grilles, which is a simple case of carefully popping them out of their clips with a flat head screwdrivers. The car then needs to be jacked up, and the front bumper undertray removed. Again, this is a simple job - undo a few screws and slide/pop the tray out. [shadowbox=images/c4/members/dar1.jpg|Fogs||][/shadowbox] A quick inspection revealed the car (a VT model) did already have the connections required for the fogs - these had been tucked away. [shadowbox=images/c4/members/dar2.jpg|Fogs||][/shadowbox] The bodywork already behind the grilles had the mounting brackets ready for the new fogs, and these were secured with 3 screws each. [shadowbox=images/c4/members/dar3.jpg|Fogs||][/shadowbox] [shadowbox=images/c4/members/dar4.jpg|Fogs||][/shadowbox] The connections were then plugged into the back of the fogs. A quick test revealed they did not work - it seems the fogs will have to be "enabled" at the dealership. The installation manual does feature 2 pages of screenshots of the Citroen dealership "software" menu's required to access the enabling option for the fog lights. Although in French this could prove useful if I find the Citroen techs scratching their heads! The grilles were then replaced, and the undertray re-fitted. Job done!
