Send me your email and I'll send the owner's manual as a pdf file
attachment.

Do I need to remove the bumper? I can't see any easy way to access it

What's an "S39"?

Ah - it's a typo!
But then you probably knew that huh?
E39

I suspected it, but wasn't certain.

Now more info is needed. Are your fog lights rectangular or round? There
were different ones used on different year E39's.


Page 155 from my '03 owners manual (do you have one, did you look?):

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the mounting clips for the air grill and
remove the grill by bringing it toward the
front.

2. Loosen both screws (inboard of housing).

3. Take off the cover panel next to the headlamp

4. Turn the headlamp 90 degrees to the left and remove it by bringing it
toward the front.

5. Disconnect the plug

6. Turn the lamp to the left and remove it.

To reinstall, reverse the procedure.

If you don't have an owners manual, you can download one or purchase one
for a modest price from any BMW dealer. If your email client can accept
large files (5MB or thereabouts) I can email you the pdf.

Hi John
Many thanks for the response
No - sadly I have not got around to buying a manual yet and just for the
fog lamp I was trying to avoid the expense right now.
If you'd be kind enough to email this to me that would be fantastic - yes
I can receive anything under 10Mb.
A BMW manual will be so much more than a Haynes one - I think I know which
I will be going for next time I DIY.
Thanks
David (please remove the 2 maps from my email address)
