Have been trying to swap the bulbs in my 2008 550i.
Removed several screws from the front wheel well on the driver's side only to find that could not remove a plastic part at the bottom. I did find two (2) phillips screws, but still couldn't get it out so that I could reach the back of the fog light.
Any tips?

Finished!
Just had to put a little more effort into pulling on the plastic than I did in step one.
Thanks for the help!
