I'm trying to replace a set of foglights and brackets on a 95 Q45 and I need to know if I have to remove the bumper to replace the drivers side bracket and light?

welcome to NICO.. You dont need to remove the bumper to replace the fog lights.

how do I replace the foglights if I don't have to pull off the bumper? I need to replace the brackets on both lights and it seems like the air intake duct work is in the way! So could you give me some insight into replacing them!

The 1" wide plastic piece next to the light comes out first and then you'll see the screws holding in the light assembly and the bracket. It's been a while since I've removed mine but as I recall a gentle pry on the bottom (?) with a screwdriver will pop it off.

Look closely at the screws/bolts before removing them. You don't want to mess with one screw that adjusts the beam angle.

It can be done, but you will wish you had removed the front bumper cover to replace the foglight brackets. So much easier with it out of the way and the car on a lift.
