fog light grills

Probably very easy to do but how do you remove the fog light grills to get access to fit lights?

Best way to access foglights is to go from wheel arch mate , just few screws off and pull arch cover and you will be able to see foglight

I put mesh tint in from the outside, very easy to do.

buy a few of these, cut a tad bigger than the flog light lens and stick to middle of lens, then feed it in around it.

Also the lighting inside the fogs now is just reflection bud, looks screwed up a bit but its installed nicely!

Went another route, removed fogs and replaced with these DRLs...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3113780151...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The curve 90% matches the bumper and they near enough reach from one side of the cavity to the other so look OEM and much more modern.

So now looks like this with them off (new on the right)...



And like this when on (sorry about the glare)...



Can be wired to be always on but I left them as fogs for now until I get used to them.

The look of the new 5 series inspired me...
