04 E55 Bi Xenon install
The beast in hibernation over the long winter.
Time to wake up!
A good thing to do is study the fitment of your headlamps before the change out.
Short trip to the shop.
Just around the corner.
I use two plastic windows and a glass door to keep cold out and let the sun in when the garage door is open.
In position and ready to start.
The new OEM Bi Xenon (without active).
The real deal, 100% made in Germany
This warning sticker fooled me, it is over the headlamps on both sides, I took it to mean the head lamps had 25000 volts. WRONG, just plain old 12V halogen.
Beast eyes and radar detector.
2X laser scramblers
Tools you will need small pliers, dentist hook, 8mm, 10mm sockets with ratchet and driver handle, 13mm open end wrench, #20 torx screw driver and small and large common screw drivers, a mallet, rags to clean up and some small tywraps a little grease. So the tool box should look like this.
OK start the car and push the raise vehicle button. As you work from side to side you will have to turn the steering wheel to get enough room to perform the tasks here. First thing is to remove the push lock fasteners in the lower wheel well
Use your pliers to pull the center out then remove the whole fastener
Now remove the one below it is underneath at the front of wheel well Yes I know, lots of scratches. ouch
Now Be careful don't break the clipsthe center lower grill clips have a lock that will break. Here is the clip.
Now remove the center lower grill.
Now remove forward belly pan
It has 4 8mm screws in the bottom and
