Depends how confident you are/able to do this though doesn't it?

I personally wouldn't be comfortable doing it, especially considering the jacking points issue. Therefore, I would quite happily spend double the time doing it with the wheel on assuming I managed to get it done in the end!

It took me about 30 seconds per side once it was jacked up. Why spend more time taking the wheel off to save a couple of seconds?

I use a trolley jack with a rubber puck thing and jack it up by the flat bit behind the jacking point.

what is the purpose of a floor jack to lift a car without damaged, all garages use it to length of time.
just enough to use on many flat ground and in the soil or other

Just changed H8 bulbs without removing the wheel or jacking the car up. Turned steering wheel full lock so the wheel is pointing outwards. Removed 2 plastic clips at the bottom of the inner arch just behind the fog light also removed the 2 underneath below the fog light. A small flat headed scewdriver comes in handy for this. Carefully pull the inner arch. You may need to use the small screwdiver just to flick it out at the bottom. Slide your hand in behind inner arch to locate the bulb. Turn clockwise and the bulb will come out of the light. Replace bulb put it back in light and put the 4 clips back.
It took me about 10 minutes to do both sides. A lot easier than I thought.:grin:

I'm surprised you didn't need a jack? It probably would only have taken you 5 mins then. Glad it's all done- are you happy with the results?

The LED fog lights on RCZ Performance's site say they are not road legal. I'd be willing to take the risk with these compared to the main headlights, but my question is, would this be an MOT fail? Do they test them does anyone know?

They only test if the fog lights work. I wouldnt worry about it as Fog lights are only really for others to see you in the dark. They dont do much for visibility :)
