Hey guys.. i just got new fog lights bulbs.. i went to put them in on my e60, the right side went in perfectly, but when i went over to left side, there is a windsheild washer fluid holder in front of the bulb so it is almost impossible to change.. how do I change this bulb? take the bumber off?

And also, I wanted to change the back signal lights to ultra white instead of the yellow. I can not find a tread on how to do this... How do i access the taillight bulbs?

Thank You

For the left side, just contort/dislocate your arm , I managed to get it without removing the bumper. Just try locating tour body in different positions until you find one that let's you arm
reach up.

For the turn signal bulbs (do you really want them white?) just open your trunk and remove the two plastic screws that keep the panel behind the taillight in place. After they are off, work the panel off. There are two clips on the back of the tail lights. Push in those pressure clips and remove the entire panel of lights. This will give you access to every single light in the tail light

That is why it's THAT difficult. I think the tank is larger or something along the lines of that...
I don't have the cold weather package so it was easier for me.
Just keep trying is the only advice I can give at this point.

Sorry
