I tried searching, but couldn't find anything.

Are the foglight assemblies fused in together with the bumper? I have an LCI 528i and I noticed my lenses are shot to hell. My headlights used to be, but I resurfaced them to like new condition a week ago. I want to do the same to my foglights.

Thanks in advance

I re did mine when I changed bumpers, they look better than the headlights now.

If you are doing them with the bumper on, just remove the lower access pannel and you have full access to them.

Here is a better view of the housing

sand down the plastic lens with 1000 wet/dry then clear coat and follow up with a 2000 wet dry and compound until clear.

Thanks guys, I was researching into replacing my fog lamps with LED's and its access but I'll give them a well deserved spring clean first.

Need to open them up first so I get the right bulbs
