Front Fog Lights

Are they easy to swap out? Any reasonable alternatives available?

Cheers folks!

If I recall they are pretty straight forward.
Held in with a single nut accessible in the well for the headlight pod, as is the wiring connection.
So you maybe able to do it by removing just the headlight.

Anything small enough could be an alternative I guess.

You can use following to help search for correct type as they were used on other cars

Ask Lotusbits if they still have the vauxhall set in their office. I saw last time I was in.

Are you needing the whole unit or just the glass?
