E70 Fog light replacement

oldvanhalenrules · 12-06-2009, 02:35 PM

Anyone on the forum know how to replace the fog lights? I have a set of amber H11's that I want to swap with the stock white ones. I know how to pull out the plastic assembly underneath the lamps, but can't get my hand up underneath on the right side to do the job. The left side is no problem. There is a boxy part made by Bosch that is preventing me from getting my hand up to the light on the right hand side of the car.

I've seen the DIY on another forum, and that person must have very small hands. Any ideas on how to do the installation would be appreciated.

Actually, that guide is for an X6, which has its fog lights in a completely different location.

Still looking for an answer to my original question....

I am looking for the same answer here, that guide seems to be for the X6. Anyone have any idea on how to swap out the stock h11 fogs' on the E70? Anyone know how to swap out the stock angel eyes too? thanks

i tihnk the only way to do this is to pull off the bumper. the bumper comes off pretty easy.

man... you serious Long?

I searched around the internet and i found this, http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...mw-x5-e70.html

I don't know if it works and sound as easy as it is but i will give it a try, if anyone else here got it to work, can you upload a video, list a better procedure, or take a step by step picture, thanks. trying to replace the stock ones to a 3000k bulb or do a fog light hid conversion.

^^ interesting, I'll try that once I take delivery

I saw that DIY before posting. I've got a 2010 model and that set of instructions from XOutpost won't work for the right side of my vehicle. Still looking for a definitive answer....

phattbam · 01-18-2010, 12:00 AM

i wonder if it's different for diesel models as what you have?
