I am installing clear corners in my friends '89 535i, and I can't figure out how to take the headlight assembly off! Please Help!


Youa can replace these with out removing he center grill. 1st remove the blacl plastic cover from the engine side. (2 plastic screws get turned 90 deg. After this is out, you have (3) srews to remove. (2) on eith side of the light bulb socket, & (1) toward the fender. It's alittle harder to get to, but you can get it. Once those are out, push the lens forward while having you other hand on the front of the lens and out it comes. Install in reverse. It took me all of 15 mins to do both. Good luck & let m,e know if you need any thing else.
