I have an 2008 535xi. I upgraded my halogen angel eyes to LED bc one went out, and decided to do the same with my halogen fog lights. I installed the the passenger side fog light with some difficulty by removing the headlight and also going through the wheel well. Going through the top alone ,where the headlight was, was next to impossible with the tight space. I found going through both spaces helped. The problem I am running into is on the driver side. There is a windshield wiper fluid reservoir behind the fog light, which makes it it impossible to access from the wheel well. I have search everywhere on various forums and the web with no success. I can't see how I can install the LED fog light through the top alone. There is just too much to install and secure and little room to work. Also, i don't think I am skilled enough to remove the bumper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try the wheel wall fender. It's a bit tough, but doable.

I did go through the wheel well. There is a windshield wiper fluid reservoir just behind the wheel well on the driver's side. It makes it impossible to access the fog light from the wheel well. That is why it explored accessing it from above by removing the head light. I can get to the fog light through the top, but the space is just too small to place all those wires and secure the ballast that comes with the LED fog lights.

Thought people were going in from under the corner lip, just behind the bumper and infront of the wheel well cover? Supposed to be a ten minute job.
