Default B8.5 foglight bulb change

Has anyone changed the fog light bulbs on the B8.5? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks

I followed this exactly. It works exactly the same.

I guess it didn't copy properly the first time.

I changed them on mine. I turned the steering wheel all the way to one side or the other and loosened the bottom most outside Torx screw in the wheel well and pulled the wheel well lining back so I could get the bulb out from the back.

Another key thing to remember is that you need to unplug the light before you can twist it out. Also if you want to donate to the SPCA link above feel free haha.

StasisS4 - Appreciate the info (and I already made a donation to to the SPCA but thanks for the link haha). Another quick question: I noticed in the photos from the link you provided that wheel well liner appears to a black sort-of fibrous material (the liners on my wife's S5 are the same). However, on the 2013 S4, the front wheel well liners are more like a molded plastic. Can you pull the plastic liner back as easily?

Yeah it's the same. It's more rigid so you have to slide your hand behind it. It's a pain since you can't see what your are doing very well. If you remember to unplug it before twisting and you'll be golden.

Which bulbs are recommended for the replacement fogs to match the color temp of the main lights?
