How to replace the right fog light bulb on a BMW 3 Series E30

Model: BMW Serie 3 E30 - Years 1982-1992
Part: Fog lights

Using a medium-sized slotted screwdriver, let's start by unscrewing and removing the two screws that secure the fog light to our BMW 3 Series E30. By doing so, we will be able to remove the fog light frame, and then remove the fog light headlight itself. Before we can remove it completely, however, we will have to disconnect the rear plug. After that we will have to press the clip, thus going to release it, and thus freeing the bulb. So let's proceed with extracting the burnt out bulb from the fog light, and we will have finished the disassembly. At this point, to fit the new bulb and close the fog light, simply follow these steps in reverse, and we will have successfully completed the replacement.
