Fog light for '96 E320

The fog light of my '96 E320 is burnt out and I can't seem to get to it and replace its light bulb... Can someone tell me how to get to it. Thanks

If it is anything like the '00 design, there is an opening right in front of the front wheel that can be opened and gives direct access to the fog lamp housing. There is a cover on the back that needs to be removed - once removed it gives access to the light bulb.

Again, I'm saying this assuming it is a similar disign to the '00 fog lamp housing.

directly in front of the tires there is a little cardboard type hatch that is held down by a rotating clasp. Rotate the clasp so you can open the hatch. You then have access to the foglights. There are three large adjustment screws which hold the foglamp in place.
