how easy is it to change fog lamp lens in E320

Hi

I'm pretty sure its a simple task, but has anyone changed a fog lamp lens in a w210 E320?

hi MMM
Accessed from underneath the car via a small access hatch, 2 bolts 8mm I think to release the light then 3 metal spring clips to release the lens. After trying to fit the last clip for about 20 mins and loosing some skin of my knuckles decided to remove the plastic under tray (another 8 small bolts) this makes the refitting SOoooooo much easier. If the tray had been removed in the first instance the complete job would have take about 20 mins.
Regards
Mike

I agree with Mike J, remove the plastic undertray, so much easier

It took about 4 mins! I just used the small access hatch and removed one bolt, pulled the lamp out through the hatch and changed the glass. Nice and simple
