 My front fog lamps have a swirling white residue on the inside of the lens that I'd like to clean up.

The black plastic embellisher that surrounds the fog lamp/daytime running lamp/indicator easily unclips but I'm not sure how to remove the fog lamp lens.

As it appears to be glass, I don't want to apply too much pressure to lever it out. It doesn't seem to turn or unclip.

Does anybody know if it can be removed? The manual says to consult a Citroen dealer when the bulb needs replacing.

While it's not easy to see the swirl in this photo, it's noticeable to the naked eye.

 The lens is 'Bonded' (glued) to the unit so it's very hard to remove.

It would be simpler to buy the new unit complete and swap it over.

 The units are normally 'Valeo Fogstar' used across the whole Citroen/Peugeot range. Citroen part number is: 6206E1

However you may find that a 'Samlip' part number 6206Q3 is used

Bulb BTW is a H11 12V-55W




It appears that they are used acros a wide range of cars as well. There's a pair on eBay atm for a 2009 Focus RS - Click Here - at £60

 "The black plastic embellisher that surrounds the fog lamp/daytime running lamp/indicator easily unclips" but how? Just pry it off I tried but didn't budge with little force and don't want to break it? Or are there some bumper/bottom parts to remove first?

 Hi Travlican,

It's really easy. Just place your fingers behind the centre facing edge of the car so you get a good grip, then give a firm pull outwards. The plastic is quite flexible so I don't think there's much risk you'll do any damage. You don't need to remove anything else first. I've taken a photo to show you where to locate your fingers.
