You can use this process to put in Bi-Xenons, Clear Headlights or Depo Projectors into your car.
Lets Start on the Driver's Side
1) Remove the 8mm screw in this hole

2) Remove the 8mm bolt here

3) Jack up the car and remove the wheel

4) Remove the bottom bumper cover by taking out a few push pins and some 8mm screws
5) Remove a few push-pins and 10mm nuts, then push aside the inner fender

6) Remove the T20 Torx screw under where the bumper meets the fender

7) Pull out the bumper-fender clip. You may need a screwdriver to pry it out


8) Remove the 8mm bolt on top of the headlight

9) Remove the 8mm bolt on the left side of the headlight

10) Pull the bumper down a little, and remove the 8mm bolt on the right side of the headlight

11) Unplug the connector from the headlight

Very similar to the install of my lights, only I didn't need to remove the wheel. I just turned it full lock towards the opposite side I was working on. The was plenty of room for me. Very cool of you to take pics of the process for those who aren't as mechanically inclined.

Very nice write up. I see that you did the method of not removing the front bumper. I know its not necessary but do you know the extra steps that are needed if I do want to take of the bumper? Good luck on your 3 series.

Did you have to go to the dealer and have them set Xenons=Not Present, or did they turn right on without any dealership efforts?

i had stock halogens, so i had to set the Xenons at the dealer
if you have the frosty xenons, you don't need to set the xenons to present..
