Installing a Xenon Headlight

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Headlight

Installing xenon headlights is a relatively simple and quick job, although it requires a certain degree of patience and skill. To start, remove the headlight cover, take out the headlight you want to change, remove it from its seat, and disconnect the electrical connectors of the bulbs, remove the low beams, and disconnect the two-wire bulb. Only then can you release the two metal clips that hold the bulb in place to extract it. The procedure for inserting the xenon headlight is a snap fit. Once the new headlight is in place, simply attach the connectors.
