My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
Default

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.

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 is completly closed under the bumper.

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
