Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Headlight

In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the ceiling light of the front headlight of the BMW Series 5. First, let's open the hood and remove the headlight assembly from the body by unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the bulb's electrical connector; then we will heat the entire area of the ceiling light, particularly the side, as shown in the video. At this point, we will leverage the ceiling light to detach and remove it, then replace the headlights or just the ceiling light; we will assemble the headlight assembly and finally reassemble the front headlight!
