Started planning a custom PS reservoir, the b4 passat one is nicer than stock but it's not fitting the theme.

Finally took the bumper off!
remove the grille then remove the 3 screws on top of the bumper then remove the 5 screws (on mine) from the bottom...then go to the wheel well and pop those plastic holding screws, two for me.
You'll see some white plastic holding tubes under the headlights, pull these up and out...I used a pair of bent needle nose.
Undo all the light plugs and then start at one side sliding/pulling forward then move to the other doing the same...evenly slide that bumper out.
My fog caught on the drivers side so check clearance and go slow...
thanksfranciscomk3 and the rest off the vortex...
stock left/smoked right.
installed the fogs... will put the bumper back on tomorrow which will be yesterday on Monday
Thinking of putting yellow bulbs instead of these white ones.
Thanks again Vortex!![]()

She keeps tellin me you should sell that POS everyday. And then I consider the alternative. A quiet, boring, lil eco box. And then when im on the on ramp to the highway I punch it and wind out 3rd gear and hear that intake and the exhaust together in perfect harmony as it rips a humongous hole in the ozone layer and causes the spontaneous explosions of tree huggers faces .
