So I removed the headlight

[Vifa]

Hi,

When I washed my car yesterday I noticed some brushes - probably from the car wash - it was stuck in between the turn signal and headlight. One thing led to another and with a little help from Youtube I decided to remove the whole headlight assembly. Along the way some issues and questions arose, and I won't remount the headlight before these have been answered/fixed.


I have listed all the things I stumbled across with pictures - and I hope that with a little help from the experts on this forum to find the answers.

1.
Two of the four screws that hold the headlight assembly was rusty - and one so rusty that it broke.
Where can I find the part number and where should I order from ? - My dealership ?

2.
The rubber sealing around the turn signal seems to be half gone - how do I replace this ?

3.
These two screws are rusty as well. Can I replace those without breaking the plastic piece ?

4.
When I removed the headlight assembly I noticed these two little snaps had broken off from the lower trim part that house the headlight washer. I can't figure out what these snaps into ? ��

EDIT: I just figured out what these snaps into, question should be does it matter that they are now broken off ?

2. No, it is part of the housing assembly.
3. I wouldn't touch those if I were you. I don't believe there is a BMW part # for them as they are part of the 3rd party supplied component.
4. I believe it is part of the series of trim snap features, but I may be wrong.
