    Default 94 540i foglight removal

    how do you remove the drivers side foglight? i have a new one and want to replace it,

    BTW I ordered from egermanparts.com tuesday night and when I got home today my package was already here. Maybe because they have a warehouse in NJ but thats pretty damn quick if you ask me.

    I didn't need ramps to remove mine and I am LOWERED.... Its easy. one bolt holds the frame in place the other side has a ball fitted in the socket. Get under there and look at it i think its a 10mm bolt. i did it with a rachet in Bavarian Auto's parking lot a few weeks ago..

    Ramps!!!!!!!.....

    First remove the toeing eye blanking covers next to the fog light. this is explained in the owners manual!!

    there you shall see a small Phillips screw, undo it, pop. the fog-light is out!

    job done..
