      Hey, thanks for the compliment. I've been pretty slack with videos. I manual swapped my 540 and never finished the vid! Hope your e34 is going strong.

    Hey man, I just bumped in to your channel. I'm very grateful for all of your how to videos on your e34 because I want to buy one as my first car and I plan to work on it my self.
    So I hop your videos will help me do that.

    you are supposed to push down those kidney grill clips from above. Theres a hole at each side of headlights from the top, you need a pretty long screwdriver to push them down.

    Nice video and explanations mate !! What about the new replacement quality ? Were they DEPO ? I'm looking to upgrade, and OEMs are too expensive or too bad shape, and HELLA and other known brands are quite expensive as well. I'm about to buy some Diedrichs, a DEPO manufacturer, and I'm worried about the quality.
    Thanks in advance.

    Does that apply to the 1989 535I, cause that car looks like a 540, which is similar, also do you have a video on what to do if the front doors don*t open, somebody told me it could be the weatherstripping that somehow has created this problem, please if you can help me, all the doors are open they are not locked.

    Cool step by step how to!
    One quick question, I have a car just like this and every time I drive in the night I get the feeling my headlights are a bit too weak, do glass headlights also deteriorate? If so, does replacing them with Euro Smileys help?
    Thanks!

    G'day mate - really great video tutorial for we RHD 540 owners looking to work on our own cars. You mention that the adjuster motor snapped off as a common problem - how does this happen? Is the part just under-engineered?

    I suggest removing the bumper cover too when doing this (Really easy). Cause if you are not careful you can scratch the top of the bumper with the grill when removing it

      The lens can't remove, it's one peace each head light. In best case you can replace each head light, bud this also tricky.
