Is it easy to remove the fog lights on the 545i? Yesterday while driving on the HWY a piece of rubber flew-off a truck and hit the right-side fog light and push it all the way into the bumper. The fog light looks fine but I think the side bracket that holds it broke. And yes the bumper got scratched but it can be buffed.
Questions:
Does this mean I have to buy a complete fog light unit? or do dealers sell the mounting bracket separately?
How do I get to the light? I noticed the bottom of the bumper under the fog light is completly closed.
Is it easy to replace or I have to visit the dealer again?
If someone has some photos or can give me directions on how to remove the fog light it would be greatly appreciated.
If I can avoid going to the dealer would be best
I had a similar incident with my 535 as wifey watched a tire tread separate in front of her at speed on the 101 fwy in LA. The flying tread smashed the right front bumper into the wheel, destroying the fog light, access panel below the fog light, and side marker. I cleaned all the rubber marks off of the bumper with bug and tar remover, and just replaced the fog light (very easy since two screw holes to attach the light were unharmed). Still waiting on the panel which will be equally easy to replace. OTOH, I haven't figured out how to remove and replace the side marker which appears to be glued on to the inside of the fender.
