How to Replace a BMW Fog Lamp Lens
1.
Find the fog lamp in the front fender corner.
2.
To get to the lamp, you must first pop out the grille next to it. There are two pins that you must pull down with either your fingers or pliers. Remove the pins and put them in a safe place.
Pop out the grille by shaking gently back and forth.
3.
Now you can access the fog lamp. There are two bolts on the inside corners of the fog lamp; use a socket wrench or regular wrench to loosen and remove the bolts. Pull the inside corner out toward you.
4.
Take the fog lamp out of the fender until you see a connector with wires coming out of it. Disconnect the fog lamp at the connector and remove it completely from the car.
5.
Now take your new fog lamp out of the box. Examine it to see whether its broken. Connect the new fog lamps connector to the wire connector on your car.
6.
Push the fog lamp into the fender.
7.
Tighten the bolts with your socket wrench or regular wrench.
8. Now turn on the cars fog lamps to see whether they work. If they dont, look at the wire connection to see if its loose and at the fog lamp itself to make sure the bulb isnt broken.

Replace the grille. Push the two pins back up into the car with your hands.
Youre all done.
