Guys, the fog lights are a very simple install. On a pre-facelift X5, look at the ring around the fog and you will see a notch in it. Take your finger and gently pull on that notch and it will start to come apart from the bumber. Once removed, there are two screws that need to be loosen. THen you will have to reach in with a finger on each side of the fog light housing and pull it towards you. There are two clips on the top that will give way and the fog light can then be pulled out of the hole. I think there is a protective cover on the back - pull it off and then you will see the bulb. Disconnect the clip holding the bulb, pull it out and replace it with the new one.

I did this without reading any directions - just went out there and took care of business!!

I will install for anyone in the Atlanta area for $100

ekaz - how did u pull the plastic ring? Did you have to pry it off or use a flat head screwdriver or something?

I think I may have used a small screwwdriver. I followed the DIY off the front page...

Any one with a FACELIFTED X5 care to post a DIY, with pictures preferably. I know everyone says its so easy, but I think they're referring to PRE-facelifted X's cause all i've heard is its a P.I.T.A. on the 2004+ models.

It's that easy on the '04+ too.

For something that is sold a few percentage point above cost it's just not worth the bother to me. Hoen has my order and they are usually very good about getting those orders out.. this time there was a back order issue... nothing that I can do about it and there is nothing that they will do about it as this is only a regular order from a dealer. I don't know how else to put this and for the life of me I can't understand what the extreme rush is... they are $22... almost half price... if these people can't understand that when you want something that cheap you sometimes have to wait a bit.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm coming off like I don't really care but this really is quite bothersome for something that I am giving away.

Would you mind just refunding the money please, i really couldnt care less about the fking things. If you dont want to sell them dont offer them its not about the price its about service its about doing the right thing and clearly they are not. So if you dont mind please refund and i know its not your fault but i relly dont care anymore. Thanks Perry
