How to Replace the Rear Headlight on a BMW E91

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Tail light

You won't need any special tools for this operation, just a plastic trim tool. It is very important to follow this simple and brief guide. Open the trunk to locate the rear of the headlight, which is well hidden behind the side panel of the cargo area. Simply remove the panel by pulling it, and you will have access to the pins that secure the headlight. Of course, disconnect the connectors and remove the bulbs first. Now you can easily pull the headlight out from the back. Reverse the steps to reassemble the various components.
