Replacement of the fog light bulb of the BMW 5 Series E60

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Fog lights

To replace the front fog light of the BMW 5 series, we lift the car with a lift to work more easily. We turn the front wheel to free up space, and with an 8 mm socket wrench we unscrew the four screws that secure the lower protection, and remove it. We remove the electrical connector using a T25 torx key, and unscrew the two screws that secure the light, removing it. We remove the bulb and insert it into the new headlight, insert it into its seat and lock it with the two torx screws, insert the connector and put back the protection by locking it with its screws and lower the car.
