I have tried to look it up on M5 board but I'm having problems with security on firefox at work and safari at home. Has anyone else had problems?

Anyway, how do I replace the front fog light? I have a replacement but can't see how to remove the plastic ring that covers the light. Do you have to get to it from underneath?

Put a small flat bladed screwdriver in the hole at the front. There is a little lever that needs to be puched either left or right, cant remember. Then pull it out.

Just pull the plastic surround cover off towards you. There will be a coule of 8mm screws under it. Remove those and pull foglight out towards centre of car. Only E36s have the hole and lever type idea.
