I wonder if some one could tell me how to change my Fog Lamp Bulb .I have a
2001 X5 with out the M-package so it's just the normal bumper .Do I change
it from the front by taking out the plastic cup or lip
or do I have to change it from in the engine compartment?.
Thanks for your help

Have you checked the driver's handbook? Mine gives details of bulb
changing.

This can be a real nightmare on some cars. For the front turn signal on
the X5 you need to remove the headlamp assembly. One of the worst is
meant to be the headlamp bulbs on a Merc A class, the whole unit has to
come out and it a real bear to put back in apparently.

I believe that they're all similar - you remove the fog lamp housing (pop
out the
ring and remove by depressing the clip or unscrewing the retaining screw),
then
replace the bulb and re-install.
