I've got a 95 525i --> how do you access the fog light bulb to change it??
the passenger side one is out. I don't want to break the trim trying to get at it.. the bentley manual is pretty lame on it..

thanks..

I change mine from beneath the car and reaching in behind the fog light and releasing the socket and remove the bulb. Mine 92 525 uses the 9006 bulb not the H1 which is used on mine 95 530. But both can be access from behind the fog light without removing the entire light assembly.
That's the way I'll be able to do it next time. After having taken out the full assembly, I know now what it's like, and will know where to reach for the bulbs the next time I have to.

I gave the car a reacharound as mentioned above. Simplest way to do it. Thanks for the advice.. Took about 10 minutes..
