If anybody is about to tackle this project, I can't stress enough how important step @7:35 is. I fought the bracket for over an hour and ended up putting the nut back on and cutting as much as possible off from the stud, then taking nut off and re-installing the bracket. Theres just enough thread and it makes the job night and day easier.

It's helpful to leave the film on the new lights until they're installed... it protects them from scratches when you're working.

I have a 2011 same car with the same headlight issue. It’s a diesel too. What do you mean by adding a projector? Wonder what he charges. Will have to email him. Great video

You mentioned the burned up headlight bowls at the beginning, how do you repair those to get the light output back? I have 140k miles on my LCI and the headlight output is quite bad so I assume I have burned bowls. Awesome video man! I'll be referencing it soon when I dive into mine to replace my projector lenses and toss my DEF tank in the dumpster.

You have to replace the whole projector.

So you actually install the front bumper before to put back the plastic of which you cut the bolt before?

@BadPigeon 7 ай бұрын

What is that piece that it mounts on to? I'm rebuilding the front end of my x5 and i cant find that part for the life of me. the one that has the plastic mounting spots at 11:48

What a load of shit just to get a headlight out 🤦 And just to make it that much worse from the owner from don't it, put an airbag sensor to scare him away I feel sorry for customers that have to come to us mechanics for something that should be an easy quick diy job .... You can probably tell I have a turbulent relationship with our x5 compared with my Commodore ss
