Cracked Glass in front spot light
Big horrible hole with cracks all over my front bumper spot light cover. Im not sure if its glass or plastic but any ideas how much it would cost to replace and if its simple to do or not?
Cheers

Very easy to change, pull off the trim around it which will reveal 3 torx screws, simply undo and unplug. I did read that the wiring in this area has been failing on some D3's and most remedy this by taping up the said wiring. May as well do that while its out

I have 2 Spare foglights!!! Also got 2 standard bezels . Make me any offer if interested.If it ain't got 4 wheels, Don't Bother.
Are you talking about bumper mounted spotlights, or the fog lights that are built into most bumpers? As far as I'm aware the spot lights are not replaceable individually, but better bulbs can be fitted.
If you're on about the fogs I'll shut up Previously:
