04 E55 Bi Xenon II
And 4 more screws two in each wheel well
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40592.jpg)
Now a little coaxing will necessary to get the pan out. I have taped up to avoid any paint damage.
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40593.jpg)
Now back at the lower grill opening at the top remove two 10mm bolts
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40594.jpg)
Then the two on top, but leave one or two to keep bumper from falling
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40595.jpg)
Now the 8mm between the lights, use a 13mm wrench to hold mounting nut.

Back to the wheel well remove the 10mm plastic nut (not far from the first push lock)
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40597.jpg)
Next just loosen the 10mm plastic nut at the top of wheel well
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40598.jpg)
Now pull the inerfender panel out to gain access to the fender to bumper clamp and use #20 torx to remove screw that holds clamp in place.
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40601.jpg)
Gently tap the clamp bracket forward and to the center of the car, it will unhook in a forward motion by hand
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40603.jpg)
You may have to work the clamp back and forth to get it to release.
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40604.jpg)
At this point you may need a hand cause the bumper is almost ready to come off, time to disconnect the fog lights, air temp sensor, side marker lights
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40605.jpg)
Remove the other fender to bumper clamp and the two remaining 10mm bolts
and with a little rear ward pressure the last bumper hook at the very front of fender will unhook and the bumper is off.

Break time

The easy part 8mm nut driver remove the old lamps
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40609.jpg)
Try to not move the clip nuts from their position
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40610.jpg)
The lower bolt is a pain
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40612.jpg)
disconnect the 4 wires to the headlamp and remove it
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40613.jpg)
Little clean up and tywraps
![](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii199/Yacht_master1/DCP40615.jpg)
and the other side too
