I know it may be an easy stupid question but I been looking for an answer in forums and google and no luck.
My question is how the heck to do I replace the bulb in the fog light housing of my 545i. The manual does not say how to replace it and I am trying to put in the Xenon color bulb to match the xenons. And I do not have one dam clue on how to do it.
Can anybody help me please thank you

you have to go in from the wheel well. take out the lower cover (on underside of car) and remove screws from lower front part of the fender liner, pull it back and you should be able to see what you need.

The passenger side is a snap. Just as was mentioned, you need to remove the four screws that secure the wheel well liner. Peel it back a bit and you'll be able to remove and replace the 9006 bulb.

I did that on the passenger side and now I'm stuck. I peeled back the driver side wheel well, only to discover that the headlamp washer tank is right in the way of the bulb socket. There's not enough room to reach around - in fact, you can't even see it.

Any thoughts on how to access the bulb when you have headlamp washers??

Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated!!

Kindest Regards,
