E92 headlight removal assistance

Dr. G · 05-19-2011, 11:31 PM

So I followed the DIY to get my front bumper off and my headlight exposed... now I can't find any instructions on how to get the e92's headlight out.

I searched around and found a slightly simple one for the e90, but the e92 seems a bit diff then the e92.

Anybody have a link to a DIY or can anyone provide some quick details on how to pull out the headlight so I can put my new headlights in?

I think there are 5-6 screw hoding it, the hardest one is the leveling arm that locate in the center back of the headlight, took me 2 hr to just remove those.

I hope that thread helps you. Taking off the headlight is a pain for sure.

then is very easy 5 or 6 screws and thats it

Honestly you don't even need a DIY, it's so easy I can do it in like 10 minutes now.

Just remove the front bumper follow any DIY.

Then there 5 screws to remove. Two that are visible right at the top of the headlight.... two screws right where the centre kidney grills would be.... and one screw in the back wheel well.

Do you find a screw thats is right in the center in the back of the headlight that connect the headlight with some sort of support bracket? I found those on my previous e92 but seems like everyone who removed their headlight only say there are 5 screws.
