    740il facelift model 2001

    A pic is worth a thousand words...especially when what you're asking is unclear. When I read "head light plastic housing with rubber edges"...I think of something that makes up the headlight...and the headlight diagrams are easy to find. So I have to assume you mean something else...and when I look up the part number you posted...that's a piece located in the wheel housing diagrams (under BODYWORK)...not the headlights. So again, a pic might get you help much quicker.

    The part number you posted is #9 in the top diagram below and #1 in the bottom diagram below...trying to figure out how that's associated with the headlights...a pic would really be helpful and at least point the forum in the direction you're inquiring about:

    {#9 in diagram below}



    {#1 in diagram below}

    Additionally, to what Q posted, the Secondary Air Pump (SAP) attaches to that part, not the headlight.

    Part number 12
    Q thank you for your reply, required part not on the diagrams above.However i did find it. Part number is 51718201163 51718201164. Only for 740. I hope i get it right as i already placed an order. Rubber edges used to collapse from heat exposure, it is some sort of dust protection against headlight housing.
    Thanks for your assistance boys.

    The main reason i decided to change them is due to rubber edges has been rotten, and it makes a gap in between headlight housing and plastic edge fairly big. it is no better explanation from my point of view. I could tell air filter duct housing, but it is more confusion in that description.
