How do I fit this foglight to the grill?

The damn hexagon looking screw won't unwind going out. Any solutions? Foglight for e90 Mtech

Well, #6 should be between the grill and the foglight. The foglight should be attached to #6 and then to the grill or was it together at the same time...I forget. I did mine a year ago and haven't touched it since. The hexagon screw head should just be floating there in case you ever need to adjust the angle of the fogs.

I see it now, what was missing were the screws that were supposed to hold the whole thing together. I was hoping it attaches on it's own like the bumper tabs.

Yea, I believe it's two for each foglight.

Odd question, does anyone know the part number (from the above link) for the screws? I have the fogs (missing #6 since I need to order them still)

Thanks

When it comes to screws like that. Just go to Home Depot or something. Find some 1/2 in screws and nuts.

All the screws, washers, bolts, etc have a number next to them. Scroll down on the list to the corresponding number and you'll see the part number.

Well, you asked for part numbers, but wherever you are ordering #6 from, you mind as well order the screws as well.
