Headlight Assembly

[mhainen]

Please be kind. OK I did a stupid I just replaced my stock low beam bulbs with PIAA. The problem was access. I read the manual, but still managed to shear off the wimpy tab that holds the sealed cover in place Can I purchase the cover only (for the headlight assembly low beam access)? If so what is the part number & cost? Until then I have used the handy man's secret tool--duck tape.

I don't know if this would work for an X3, but there is a tab replacement kit for the X5 headlights. Take a look at the pictures and see if the X5 tabs are the same.

Thanks, but not my issue. I did find a parts diagram site for all BMW models and found the X3 headlight assembly diagram. I secured the part number and ordered two new covers at $8 per. I thought I would have a costly part, but it is reasonable. If you are interested in the web site for diagrams here it is http://realoem.com/bmw/

Hi everyone, this is my first post, and I didn't even have to "post" my question.
Found good answers by searching the forum. Thanks!

My headlamp went out on my '04 X3 3.0i, and my dear husband changed the bulb, but in the process the black plastic cover's thin holder-tab broke off. Was going to see if anyone had this happen & I guess so, since I found the answer here!!

Thanks to mhainen for the realOEM website link, I used it & now will see if my local dealer in Greenwood (Indianapolis), IN will order the $12.41 part for me! (It has gone up in price since 2007)
