Do I have to remove the bumper to replace the daytime running lights lens?

Hi,

This vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will do my best to help.

On most vehicles, you can access the fog lamp and assembly from under the front bumper. Based on the model year, there will likely be a plastic covering under the engine. If you remove that, you should have access.

Let me know what you find.
