Replacement of the front headlight of the BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Headlight

In this short guide, we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front headlight of the BMW X3. First, we open the hood of the car and start unscrewing all the fixing screws we find on the top and bottom of the front bumper; we remove the additional screws we find on both sides of the fenders, as shown in the video. At this point, we detach the front bumper, unscrewing the screws of the headlight group and disconnecting the electrical connector of the lights to remove it and replace it with the new one; we then reassemble the front headlight and the bumper!
