Changing Fog light bulbs, Oil Reset/Service?

Can anyone please tell me how to get the bulb out.
Also, when the oil is changed how do you reset the computer
for the next service or does it do this its self?

Thanks! Tim

Fogs are hard to get to. you may need to remove the fender liner.

If MINI does the oil change, they do it for you.
If you change the oil, DO NOT change it because you get free oil change from MINI

If you insist on resetting it go to mini2.com find the FAQ, its all in there.

If your out of the free service window, then do as Chows suggested. Don't reset it if your doing a change in between two "official" dealer changes.

The fogs are easy to get at. Turn the steering wheel to lock (either way, doesn't really matter). Then carefully unscrew the clips that hold the front side of the inner fender liner on. You don't need to remove them all. Bend the liner back and you'll see the back of the bulb.

I changed my oil after 1400 miles because the dealer will only change it at 10,000 miles. The car drives much smoother now.
My mini's a keeper so splurging a few bucks for the sake of driving clean was worth it for me.
