[A4] replacing burnt out fog light

[Peter Kirby]

Thanks.  Piece of cake...10 minutes, max.  A couple of insignificant 
corrections, to take the bezel off you do have to remove the little 
black grill immediately inboard of the bezel (you have to remove this to 
get to the two screws closest to the middle of the car), there are three 
screws, not two, and aiming is not affected.  The aiming screw is 
separate.

It did take a little wiggling and jiggling though to get the light out 
of the hole.

Thanks again.

Peter
