Recently had to change our Renault Kadjar passenger side front fog light bulb, so thought I would create a simple guide as no Youtube videos existed for the Renault Kadjar, but a few for the Nissan Qashqai which is similar in design (shared components) etc.

Our Renault Kadjar uses a 35w H8 bulb for its front fog light.

I turned the steering wheel so that the passenger side (NSF) front wheel was pointing inwards, I then removed the 2x T20 Torx screws which allows the wheel arch liner to be moved slightly to gain access to the fog light housing assembly.

 

A single T20 bolt underneath the Renault Kadjar wheel arch needs to be removed (Red Arrow) to allow the wheel arch liner to move more freely.

I did view on a couple of clips online for the Nissan Qashqai which suggested 2x T20 Torx screws (Green Arrows) need to be removed, but I didn’t.

 

Then with a flat blade screwdriver or plastic trim removal tool, gentle separated the side of the wheel arch liner and created just enough of a gap to gain access to the fog light housing.

The fog light bulb can be removed by gentle rotating it anti-clockwise which will release it from the fog light housing, then a simple case of removing the bulb form its connector and replacing with the new 35w H8 bulb.

Note: I did replace the original 35w H8 bulb as it did seem to emit a strong blue shade of light, which is questionable from a Road legal perspective and looked inappropriate for a Renault Kadjar,  so I swapped it for a more acceptable white/yellow light option.

Nice pair of steps in the garage I see :)

Now I know where to come when I need bulbs changing, albeit on a Ford :)
