Fog lights

Post by WaZZZZman » Fri May 02, 2008 5:03 pm

I have searched on this forum and others but do not see how to change the fog light bulbs.Image I noticed that one of the lenses on my 04 Zed was cracked and wanted to see about replacing the lens. Upon inspection it looks as if the bulb was damaged as well. So I decided to replace the lens and both bulbs. I was told that you can do it by taking the bumper off?????? Image

Surly the fine engineering minds of BMW would not put out a product that you would have to take the front of the vehicle off to change a bulb. That would be too funny for words. I can see the advertisement now. “ If a bulb fails on these fine cars you mealy take the front off the damn thing”. If true we got to keep them from any more Oktoberfest.Image

Have you opened the lower of the inspection panels in the wheel arch to get in that way? Turn the wheel to full lock to give more elbow room.

I cannot recall if there is enough access as the only time I've changed the bulb/and light unit is with the front bumper off for other work.

Can't look as it's raining cats and dogs right now.....
