How to Remove a BMW 328I's Fog Lights

Fog lights illuminate the road during inclement weather conditions such as fog, rain and snow. The BMW 328I's fog lights are located low to the ground on the front bumper, underneath the car's headlights. This low placement directs the beams onto the road. Learning to remove your own fog lights is essential if you wish to replace the fog light bulbs or the plastic fog light encasement on your car's exterior.

Things You'll Need

• Flathead screwdriver

Instructions

1. Turn off your BMW 3281. Locate the car's battery, located in the battery compartment in the passenger side of the trunk.

2. Disconnect the battery by using a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the black cable connected to the battery.

3. Move to the front bumper area of your BMW 328I. Locate the plastic fog light covers on the bottom right and left corners of your bumper, underneath the headlights.

4. Insert your flathead screwdriver between the crevice of the plastic fog light cover and the bumper. Push the fog light cover out and toward you. Place it aside.

5. Turn the fog light bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the bulb socket.

6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 to remove the fog light on the opposite side of your vehicle.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not touch the glass part of the fog light bulb if you are planning to reinstall it. Touching the glass may damage the bulb.
