Model: BMW Serie 7 F01, MK 5, F02 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Headlight

To replace a headlight on this model, first remove the bumper. Manually detach the rubber seal, then use a special pliers to remove the clips holding the side panels, and take off the panels. Now access the wheel well by moving the protective cover and unbolting the underlying bolts. Lift the car with one or two jacks (one on each side) and remove the screws securing the bumper from underneath. Also, unbolt the upper bolts and slowly detach the bumper. At this point, unbolt the screws securing the headlight as shown in the video, and disconnect the connector. Once done, you can remove the headlight.
