Let's get ready, with the help of this video guide, to disassemble the front headlight of a BMW 1 Series e87. Of course, we open the front hood, then, as shown by the protagonist of the video, we proceed to remove the pins at the top of the headlight and then, in order to completely free it, we remove the front bumper trim, the central grille, and the front wheel arches, otherwise it is not possible to reach the rear and side pins of the optical group.

Once all the pins have been removed, we extract the headlight from its seat and disconnect its electrical power connectors.
