Hello there,

My low beams became very weak and I have to change them in order to pass the TI.

I bought two new Hella reflectors and managed to replace (e32 740) one on the right side by:
-removing the air filter box (unscrew two shrubs)
-removing the plastic cover--which covers the access to the lights (unscrew two clips).
-disconnecting the low beam (yellow) connector and unscrewing 3 shrubs which hold the reflector.

But I cannot do the same with the left side, there is no space because of the brake cylinder.
I plan to remove the front bumper and mask in order to remove the whole lights assembly.

Now I'm stuck with front bumper removal (it's not like e34 or e36).

Anyone there knows how to remove the front bumper?

Or is there any other way to replace the left low beam reflector?

Thank you in advance for you help!!!
Jerry

P.S. To my surprise low beam reflectors on e32, e34 and late e30 models are the same, part number 63 121 390 270.
