Front Headlight Disassembly Instructions

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

Disassembling the front headlight is extremely simple and does not require removing any other components such as the bumper or trim. First, open the hood and locate the positions of the four headlight mounting pins: two located at the top on the crossmember and two at the bottom of the headlight itself. Next, unscrew the four pins, disconnect the connectors attached to the bulb holders, and complete the disassembly by removing the headlight from its housing, taking care not to damage the surrounding seals.
