Guide to Installing a Xenon Kit

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Accessory kit

This guide shows how to install a xenon kit without causing damage. Ensure that the bulbs do not break or scratch during installation. Do not touch the bulbs with your fingers and do not cut any wires. For installation, remove the front end of the car and the front grille by unscrewing the screws at the edges near the headlight. This allows you to detach the trim easily. You then have access to the headlight, and after unfastening all the securing screws, you can easily remove it. You can then work on the headlight by removing the bulb holder cap and the halogen bulb. Insert the new xenon bulb by securing the adapter easily; just twist it a quarter turn until you hear a "clack."
