The front passenger fog light light on my 2000 e55 needs replacement. I have a replacement bulb but I do not know how to replace it? Do I need to take out the entir fog light assembly? If so, how? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

ok, I figured it out myself. Turn the 2 plastic screws at the bottom of your front bumper, which allows you to push the plastic flap thereunder up towards the engine bay, to get to the fog lights from underneath the car. If you want to remove the entire fog light assembly, you need to remove 4 screws (5/16). Just feel around and you will find all four, then unplug the power cord (I did not do this because I just wanted to replace the bulb, be careful the plastic connector logs tricky and could the plastic connector could break). It might be better if you try to access the 4 screws from top of the engine bay rather then from underneath. If you just want to remove the bulb, look for a grey plastic cover with a metal bar on it, that is holding down the grey cover. This is how you access the bulb. Push the metal bar to one side, it can only go one side, which then allows you to pop open the grey cover. open the grey cover, and you will see two lettle metal rods, push down on the L rod and move it to L and do the same for the R rod, now the bulb will pop out. Sorry if I seem a little vague. But, once you see the assembly, my describtions will make more sense. I hope somebody benefits from this. because this little project was a pain the A$$!!!
