    Question about Sidemarkers

    Ok, I'll start off by saying that I'm a new owner of my 318is and don't everything. Now then :p, I was cleaning my sidemarkers out when I noticed both of my rear bulbs are burnt out. What kind of bulb is it? And where can I find these bulbs?

    OH! And how can I remove my foglights. The lenses are really dirt and cracking. I need to take them off and replace them now. Should I get them from Abrahams?

    Thanks!

    The bulbs can be found at your local pep boys. Just take the old bulb in and compare it to the ones on the rack. NAPA autoparts may also have the bulbs.

    The foglights have 4 hex bolts, possibly 7-8mm bolted into the valence. They are difficult to get to, but a small ratchet usually does the trick. The lenses themselves actually are glued to the housing. The only maker of new lenses right now is BMWlight.com, and the customer service is spotty at best. I do own some of these lenses, though, and they are very good quality. There is a DIY on this forum for the lense swap; use the search function. To the best of my knowledge, Abrahams doesn't have teh fogs, and the ones on ebay are not very good quality.

        If you still have your iS lip, I'd take it off first to get to the fogs easier, and if you haven't already, replace the clips.
