Instructions for Replacing the Front Headlight

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 2, E32, E38, MK 3 - Years 1986-1994
Part: Headlight

If the headlight is broken, before proceeding with disassembly, remove any glass remnants. Then, unscrew the mounting screws located at the top of the headlight, detach the trim located just below the headlight (it is a sort of frame) to access the other two mounting screws and remove the side turn signal; at this point, using a screwdriver, slide back the tab located under the lower right corner of the headlight, which secures the headlight to the trim under the turn signal: now you can remove the headlight.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Ford Transit Custom

On many Ford vehicles, opening the bonnet is not done using the traditional lever located in the cabin, at the bottom left on the driver's side. Instead, you must use the ignition key to unlock a lock positioned at the front of the vehicle, usually beneath the manufacturer's badge. The reason for this choice is unclear, but it can pose a difficulty if the lock becomes jammed, risking damage to the key. You can try to disengage the lock by inserting a long screwdriver through the grille of the front panel. Once the first opening is achieved, spray some unlocking fluid on the lock to allow subsequent activation with the key.
