3 Answers
Lavida fog light bulb replacement steps are as follows: 1. When selecting a new bulb, the owner should choose the appropriate product based on the original bulb model of their vehicle. Wear gloves during replacement to protect your hands and facilitate operation. 2. For replacing the rear fog light bulb on a Lavida: Simply replace it through the opening in the inner lining. 3. For replacing the front fog light bulb: For the left bulb, turn the wheel fully inward, remove the wheel liner, and take out the bulb from behind for replacement; for the right bulb, insert a screwdriver into the seam between the fog light frame and the lower grille, gently pry it open to remove the light and replace the bulb.
I just helped a friend replace the fog light bulb on their Lavida a couple of days ago, and the process was actually quite simple. First, prepare an H11 halogen bulb and remember to wear gloves to avoid getting oil on the glass. After turning off the engine, open the hood and locate the dust cover behind the fog light. Twist it counterclockwise to reveal the bulb socket. Grip the power connector and wiggle it side to side to unplug it, then release the wire spring clip to remove the faulty bulb. Align the new bulb with the socket notch, secure the spring clip, and reconnect the power cable. Finally, test the fog light to ensure it works, and don’t forget to clean the glass cover, or the light may appear foggy. The whole process took about ten minutes, much easier than expected.
When repairing cars, I've replaced many Lavida fog lights, and there are several key points to note: First, turn on the fog light switch on the left side of the steering wheel to confirm if it's a bulb issue. The hood release is located near the driver's left foot—just pull it to open. The fog lights are inside the bumper, so you'll need to crouch down to see them. The dust cover is made of rubber; gently pry the edges with a flat-head screwdriver to remove it. When unplugging the connector, never pull the wires—pinch the plastic connector to remove it. After removing the old bulb, remember to compare whether the ceramic base of the new bulb is identical. Once installed, don't rush to reassemble—start the car and test the fog lights first. If you're installing an LED bulb, you might need a decoder to clear the fault code, whereas standard halogen bulbs can be installed directly.
