All this rage over a bulb.
 
 
lol.

Are you serious right now?

[Adam]

Yep

[Samwise]

I don't even know.

[Brett]

Haha youve clearly never seen me rage.

With all the fucking whining you do on here i thought you'd be the one bloke to sympathise. You disappoint me Adamscrotumchewer

[Adam]

Hahaha because I get stacks of sympathy from you!?

 

How much do you have to pull off the car? I have to take my grill off to change my parkers/indicator globes. Thats pretty annoying because its cable tied on.

 

Fog lights the bumper has to come off.

[Robert]

my grill is super glued in haha 

 

thats going to be fun when i have to remove it

 

those grille clips are a pitta

Woo get to see Korn tomorrow night, kind of a little bit excited.

Epic ive seen em afew times!!!!!

[Brett]

I really dont know how much id have to take off to be honest. Bumper definitely has to come off. Which is also cable tied in a couple of places hahaha
To change the low beam bulbs i had to remove the grill, and take the whole light cluster out to access it. Thats cool. Only a few screws and bolts for that, and to be honest its less fiddly than trying to do it in situ and not get greasy fingers on the new bulbs.
But the foggy. Faaark. Cant get at it from the back ( even with the headlight out) because of bRackets right behind it. Tried taking the surround and the bezel off the front, undoing the two screws that hold the light in its frame and pulling it out the front, except theres another cable leading to the light that prevents you being able to pull it out far enough to access the back. Maybe if i had a hoist itd be a different game. Could probably get at it from beneath.

Yeah, i'm bonn say theres a "flap" underneath. Mine is like that. But the fasteners are fucked so I have to remove the bumper instead.

I never have so it's going to be good. Also with them teaming up with Rob Zombie and mushroomhead is just going to make it a crazy night.

My foggys are just 2 screws at the front, remove foglight, change bulb, install in reverse.

[Robert]

Not sure what globes to put into my foglights

Either some cheap hids or some standard cheapies from work. Ill never use the fogs.


I bet I'm going to get done for my headlight hids though 6000k

[Brett]

Nope, no flap. Thats what i was looking for. Its actually open at the bottom of the front bumper. However with the lip extension you cant get your arm under and back up again. I dont have a low profile jack either, so i cant get it up on stands.

This is how it should be IMO.

[Adam]

So you don't have the right tools for the job, and you are blaming the manufacturer?

[simon]

Dear Ford,
you!

Pissed off owner.

  

Why the make a car with serviceable items that cant be replaced without stripping half the car down??
Im probably being a little harsh singling out Ford here, as ive come across this kind of cubtiness before.

  

Smoke a big flaming penis Morgz

  

YOu can chew on the charred balls of the penis that Morgan should be puffing on.

  

Nah just the one. Its a particularly spicy penis. You'll love it.
I bought this car knowing shit would need fixing, but come on. Changing a foggy bulb should not be so forking difficult.

  

Besides, i get heaps of comments about this car. Just the other day a bloke in a ute shouted out
"Nice car dickhead!!"
Genuinely never get complements like that with the Forester.

  

Are you serious right now?
