How to remove the front headlight of the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Headlight

Following these brief instructions, we will see how to disassemble and replace the front headlight of the BMW 1 Series, in simple steps. First, we open the hood and start disassembling the front bumper; to do this, we unscrew the fixing screws found on the top and on both sides of the front wheel arches, as shown in the video. Once the bumper is removed, we unscrew the screws of the headlight unit, disconnecting the electrical connector of the lights to remove it and replace it with the new one; if necessary, we only replace the bulbs, finally reassembling the bumper!
