Instructions for Removing the Front Headlight

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Headlight

To remove the front headlight, first remove the trim along the lower edge between the headlight and the bumper: it is secured with pressure clips, so simply press to release the trim. Next, remove the mounting pins for the headlight, located on both the grille and the bottom of the headlight (use an extension to reach them easily). Once all the mounting pins are removed, pull the headlight forward and gently disconnect the corresponding connectors attached to the bulb holder.
