Replace the front grilles on BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Trim cover

Central grille of the BMW 5 to be replaced, let's see the disassembly. We disassemble the two plastic grille frames on the two parts of the bumper. With a plastic lever we go to pry between the frame and the bumper until the plastics placed on the inside are released (we unclip the bumper at the top to work better). Once the plastics are unhooked, we remove the grille from the bumper. We reassemble the grille in the car's bumper by pressing on it until it locks into the bumper. We check the correct assembly of the parts. We replace both grids if they are damaged.

How to Replace the Rear Light and Bulbs on a Ford Focus Year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs on a Ford Focus 2000/2004, first, open the tailgate of the boot. This gives access to the screw that holds the rear light in place. The screw to undo (using an appropriate screwdriver) is located inside the light and corresponds to the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once you start to undo it, continue with the operation and then remove the nut from the inside of the bodywork. At this point, you can remove the light, being careful to disconnect the electrical supply by unplugging the connectors or removing the entire bulb holder from its housing. This way, you can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, simply follow the described operations in reverse order.
