Hey All

I have a 2006 MSPORT 550i (love it!) and have a question. How do you replace the foglights, can you take the foglight assembly out? I found the DIY 5 min foglight change, but its for the standard front bumpers not the msport.

Secondly, i see there is an allen key bolt next to the foglight housing, is this for taking the foglight housing out or adjusting it?

Thanks from New Zealand

I had the dealer do mine prior to delivery , but I remember a DIY here last year. Try searching the issue in the site search section. I know it took the dealer 30 mins, because they itemized the invoice. Good Luck.

Gotta take headlight out (using torx screwdriver) thats what I had to do. To replace the bulb just twist teh bulb, I think teh allen bolt is for adjuestment.
