Replacing Headlamp glass on BMW518 - BMW Owner
Can anyone save me from having to take out a second mortgage? I want to remove the nearside headlamp unit (2 lamps),to replace the glass front, and this involves removing the front fascia which passes under the lamps and around the radiator grille. There are no manuals for this 1995 model.

I can recommend two sites (which I do NOT think are in HJ's FAQ1)

1. E39 forum bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/e39/

( main site www.roadfly.org/bmw/ )

2. for answer to your question, go to
www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/default.htm
and scroll down to "lights" section.

( main site www.bmwtips.com/ )

IIRC, you can get manufacturers manuals on CDs from USA - there should be more details about this on the above sites.
