E39 motorsort fog light removal

Recommended Posts

Got a front fog light out on my 2000 530 Motorsport,

Had a girly look & cant see how it comes out, had a Google & some suggestion that the bumper needs to come off??!!!

Anyway, to avoid breaking something or wasting all day trying, can anyone tell me just how to remove them?

its the passenger side with the air intake.

Cheers.

No need to remove bumper. the black plastic surround will pop off when pulled in correct direction. Grab the black surround that wraps around the foglight on the inboard side of the light and pull on this both frontwards and sideways towards outboard of car. The flat bit of the surround with the alternator air intake should pop its two tabs out on the inboard edge and the plastic will come right off.  Don't wrench at it, just give it a moderate controlled pull and you'll work it out from seeing what happens.  Then a single bolt to remove light.  Installation is a reversal of above procedure... Easy peasy...  Good chance to give the area a good clean and even paint the black surround.
