How to Install Fog Lights in a 2005 Mini Cooper

The Mini Cooper was an iconic British automobile for much of the second half of the 20th century. Its small size was both economical and fuel efficient, leading it to be compared favorably to its rival, the Volkswagen Beetle. The Mini Cooper became popular in the U.S. around the turn of the 21st century, and it has a devoted set of followers. The 2005 Mini Cooper came standard with fog lights, which periodically will need to have new bulbs installed. This repair is straightforward and easy to do.

Instructions

    1

    Park your Mini Copper someplace flat, level and well lit. Set the parking brake and let the car cool down for 15 to 20 minutes.

    2

    Crawl under the front bumper and look directly behind the fog light lens for the inner fog light assembly. There are only two functioning parts to the assembly, a wiring harness and the bulb in a socket.

    3

    Unplug the harness by squeezing the base of the plug and pulling it out of the socket. Reach in and grasp the bulb. Give it a half turn to the left and pull it free from the socket.

    4

    Insert the new bulb an secure it in the socket. Be caul not to overtwist it during installation. Plug the harness back in.
