Remove third stop on BMW 1 series

Model: BMW Serie 1 E82, MK 1, E87, E81 - Years 2004-2013
Part:

How to remove the third rear light mounted on BMW 1? We lift the tailgate to access the plastic trim placed behind it. We remove the tailgate trim cover: there are tightening screws behind the panel. Once the cover has been removed, unscrew the fastening screws placed on the back of the third headlight. As soon as the rear light is free from any constraint, we can detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relative power supply terminals). We mount the previously disassembled headlight or a new one of the same type, if damaged. We replace the damaged headlight and bulbs with pieces of the same size and voltage.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
