Yeah definitely a different bumper from my 35d, but I recently replaced both my fog light assemblies. I had to remove the front bumper entirely, which is not hard to do. Just need a Phillips screwdriver, trim removal tool, torx bit (forgot which number, maybe T15) and I believe 8-10mm ratchet.

From the looks of your bumper, it should be roughly the same?

Have you tried just removing the black mesh grill and seeing if you can get your hand behind the assembly? If so, you are halfway there but you will need to remove at least a couple bolts from the assembly to replace it.

Thanks. I just wanted to find a tutorial, if possible. Always like to know what I’m about to get myself into! And before I drop $100...

I will take a look at the grill-like part tomorrow to give it a shot to see how easily it comes off.

After having done a pretty significant internal project (retrofitting CarPlay), I’m getting a lot more confident about popping panels and units in and out. And I should have all the necessary tools with panel removal parts, T-15 and T-20 bits, 8mm and 10mm wrench bits, etc...
