DIY- Rear Fog Lights

nj335i · 05-31-2007, 03:44 PM

I just installed mine a week ago - definitely the easiest mod ever. Just make sure you use something to protect the trim as you're prying. I used the butterknife technique with a napkin wrapped around it. No problems getting into the trim on the speedometer side. It took all of 5 minutes.

If anyone needs help with this mod in Northern Jersey, I'm near Edgewater.

5 minute mod....Done!

A penny, Ikea screw, and a broken pencil, voila'!

^Thanks generous fellow Bergen County-ite! I'll find a butter knife, set aside some plastic cars and wait for the part. If I start botching it, I'll send an emergency message

actually, I think using 2 credit cards, or the like, and a screwdriver in between them then twisting is the easiest method. works perfectly and doesn't damage the trim....good luck

Swoop · 05-31-2007, 04:36 PM

for those of you who may not have good credit and don't have 2 cards, you can use business cards....

Swoop · 06-01-2007, 08:16 PM

You don't think they're bright.....Before and after.....They're pretty damn bright....
