f10 fog light access

Hello,

Does anyone know how to access the fog lights on the f10?? I figured out how to get to the headlights.

Is the only way to remove the bumper?


Thanks in advance.

If you have an Msport bumper, it's also from the front grill. No need to remove the entire front lower bumper at all.

Once the grill is removed (I believed there are two upper tabs and two lower tabs) with a small screwdriver (carefully), then reach behind the fog light housing, twist and turn and it should come out.

you dont have to remove the fog lamp housing, that way you wont have to realign it.

just remove the grill and then reach behind the fog lamps.

or go thru the wheel well, turn the wheels away from the access point and remove the panel cover.

cheers!
