As tittle said, I search the forum but nothing come up.

One of my DRL got really bad cracked, ordered a new one from dealer. Rather paying through the nose, I thought I will give it a go to do it my self.

any help will be much appreciated.

 

I managed to figure out how to remove the bumper myself. While I have it out I installed a set of full led fog lights as well, it is plug and play.

 

LED fog? more info please

 

Hi Kechang, bought those light from retrofit source. It is Morimoto XB LED fog type S. On the pictures it look yellow ish, but in person they are pure white perfect match the OEM light bar.

 

woah, good price and looks awesome, thanks for the info

 

No problem at all mate, if you are getting them. One advise do check the light beam level before put everything back! As the adjustment for the light beam located on a wrong side.

 

Led fogs! Nice touch. On my list of things to do haha

 

Awesome! Thanks. I'll order one. How hard is the installation?

 

To help others looking to remove the front bumper, could you list your steps?

Remove headlights using the headlight removal tool found in the trunk by the spare tire/Lithium Ion Battery. They remove very easily by inserting the tool where there is a lock/unlock port by the lights

As far as I know, remove the torx screws in the wheel wells, the torx screws along the inside hood, and remove the (approx 7) torx screws from the front skid plate. Then it should slide out forward after pressing the plastic side guides where the headlights were.

 

Guys you do not need to complete remove the front bumper to gain access the fog lights or the DRL.

I don't have a spare hands to help, so what I did was I do it one side at a time and the other side still attached to the car.

•complete remove the wheel lining (jack up the car without removing front wheels)
•remove 2 screws holding the wheel arch, then pull it out half way (just like removing the rear bumper)
•remove 2 screws behind the side marker
•removing both headlights with the special tool, tool are located in your trunk
•remove the side marker ( there is a write up on this somewhere on this forum with fishing line)
•remove 6 screws on front heat shield (oem part number 958 504 235 00 diagram 12 )

•remove 3 screws on front spoiler (oem part number 958 505 061 00 diagram 14)

•remove 7 expansion rivet on front lock cover under the hood
•remove the front lock cover (oem part number 958 556 806 00 diagram 6 and 7)

•remove 3 screws which holding the bumper (oem part number N 911 883 01 diagram 27)

•pull the fastening clamp out from the bumper (oem part number 958 505 829 00 diagram 28)


At this point the bumper should be loosen and you should be able to pull out the front bumper to gain access the top fog lights or the DRL. There is two screws holding the fog light. The bottom screw are easy enough to remove without removing the full bumper, it can access by just removing few screws on wheel lining, but the top one are blocked by the water cooling radiator (mine are diesel model).

I hope this make sense to you all, if any of you have a question do drop me a message.

 

Great post....thanks for taking the time!
I know at some time, i will have a fog light out and have to remove the bumper to get to it.

This will help for sure. Rep points to you.

 

I was looking to install the Morimoto XB LED fogs on my Cayenne S eHybrid (intercooler is on passenger side) and was wondering if it was possible to gain access to and remove the fog light housings after only removing the front air spoiler only (part #14 in the diagrams above). Based on the diagrams, it looks like this would open up the space underneath the fog lights and provide access to the housings just above.

Any insights that anyone can provide on whether this is possible will be super helpful!

Edit: I subscribed to the alldatadiy service manual for the 2014 S Hybrid, and according to that version of the manual, removing the bumper is not necessary to change out the foglight housings. Since my 2016 has the same supercharged 3.0 Audi engine, I'd imagine the intercooler is still the same size and not blocking access to the passenger side fog light. I will find out once I receive my jack stands and can pull the wheel and wheel well liner to get an actual look at the accessibility of the fog light housing.

 

Great write up, I I'll clean my radiators while the bumper is off.

 

Just arrived playing around with them in the garage and outside.
Thanks Wexford911.
was a no brainier for an upgrade.
