E53 Facelift

[runstra]

I have planned to change the bulbs in the foglightes in front bumper. My car is an 06-3,0 d and the question is: how do I remowed the foglights cover ? Is it possible to change the bulbs without to do it from under an behind the bumper ? I can`t find any diy at the forum ? Someone could help ?

easy... just remove the rectangle ring around the fog light and the foglight should have 3 screws holding it.

How du I remove the ring ?
bend out with a screwdriver will be difficult without making any marks in the paint or ?

I had a prefacelift X5 before and it had the round ring and all you do is feel your way around the ring and it will have notches on it and all you do is pull REALLY HARD. I had to really struggle with mine but it will come off. Now I have a facelift X5 just like yours, it has a rectangle ring but I have yet to try but i'm sure it is the same way.

Just pull hard on the ring on the notches using your fingers and BE PATIENT.
