this video will help people trying to know how it is to replace the lenses from a BMW X5 e70. from removing the fender trims to heat and disassemble the headlight itself for a new lease to be put on. and a better look on you car.

Best way to remove lens from headlight is put it in the box and use hairdryer to create a heat box and then the headlight you heart equally everywhere and you just pull the length of and that’s it

I put them in oven with 60 degrees... easy to disasamble... and be quick .. the glue is Soft and you need only some New one... and seals well again... takes 3 minutes when it is warm out of the oven

@thebudgetpro8181 3 жыл бұрын

mpatxd Yes actually have some comments about that. I would recommend the butyl glue it will come in a roll. The advantage of that glue is that it is easier to work with you put it on you headlight heat it up and it will stick making good seal. The weather strip glue I used I bought it on oreilys for like 8 bucks and only use like half of it and haven't have condensation issues. Hope my responses are helpful.

I bough them from ebay or amazon ill be hones and i try to get the cheapest ones. But i guess they were all around the same price. Mine fit perfectly but keep in mind all the glue and stuff wont be visible so you will be ok even if they dont fit perfectly glue will go the job.

No you dont remove the water canister. You will need to remove the headlight plastic bracket behind the headlight. Once you start removing you will kind of figure out.

I dont understand why you need to cut it off? it wouldn't pop off like it pop on because of the glue? i guess solvent is hard to penetrate it for release without damage the lights

@thebudgetpro8181 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah the glue is a hard disolvent glue it basically melt the to materials together and wont pop off if you het it up. And if you heat it up too much you could potentially damage the soft rubber of the housing. That was my reason for cutting them thanks for watching 👍

The most difficulty is trying to get the headlight out pass the washer fluid tank on the passenger side. Too bad your camera failed to record it. You didn't say if removing the bracket under the headlight helped either.
