i cant get to the nut that holds the bolt in place. its behind the front bumper.
hey how do you make a pnp connector for ellipsoids? what kind of connectors do you use that connect to the back of the headlight?
ive been tryin to find a bullet connector that will slip over it but ive been out of luck so far.

New member here,
after doing all the necessary maintenance on my first M, the first thing i did to my car was upgrade the lights. Follow the DIY and your done in no time. Except I found that I had to reposition the alarm on the passenger side to fit in the zkw. just unscrewed it and zip tied it
excellent write up
Thanks guys, I just used this thread to help install a new set of OEM lights and it was a great help. Did it with a buddy and it took us about an hour, but of course the fog lamp bulbs stopped working.
Went to a stealer today and got new ones. Front of the car looks brand new now. Awesome.

I am new to the forum and found this thread. Thanks for the write up. Made replacing my lights a piece of cake and I'm not too mechanical.

this bolt is such a PITA to get in without dropping...
Officer, this is not the M you are looking for.
I placed rubber washers in between the nut and plastic on the car frame to minimize shaking of headlights and angel kits
How do you get the side marker out? Thanks great thread

I had to slide up my headlight recently to get an intake in, and when I was bolting it back in place I managed to break off the head of the little 8mm hex bolt that goes into the deep hole between the headlight and the turn signal on the driver's side.
Any suggestions on how to get that sucker out so I can move the headlight again if needed? It's a very narrow screw so you'd need a pretty tiny reverse bit to drill it out, but the major complication is that it takes like a 6 inch extension to get in there. There's no getting a drill anywhere near it.
Thanks!
