Title: Details for removal of 2015 i30 front bumper
Post by: cartoys on March 11, 2016, 00:17:15

New member, this is my first post and this question as probably been asked before. Can anyone please provide me with a detailed description on how to remove or partially remove the front bumper to get to and replace the fog lights to install DRL's on my 2015 i30 activeX 5 door hatch.
I am also concerned how the margins come apart between the bumper and front fenders without damage.

Thanks Cartoys.

Thanks Dazzler it should be very similar to my car I will check it out tomorrow re the location of the screws and bolts and seeing the video how the margins come apart as made me feel a lot easier don't want any damage.
If you can find the information or video for my model that would be great.

Thanks again front bumper removed and DRL,s fitted no dramas. Now I need help to replace the single horn and fit twin horns the wiring has a 2 wire plug but the horns have spade connectors do I have to make a special new harness as I assume I will have to cut off the original plug, is there anything else to lookout for like continuity and relays Cartoys

I imagine the body of the horn just earths through the mount and spade fitting just connects to power like existing horn, but don't quote me (let's see what others say) :cool:
