Front lights problem on one side

instead of wiggling around from the front through the hole in the bumper you can grab it from the engine bay side and push it through - much easier then the other methode.

Thanks TerminatorX5 - I was afraid to have a problem in the cabling or a plug in between the cabling - but since you told me that cabling goes straight through I was feeling better :-)

Best, Helmuth

I'm glad you got it all figured out...but I'm lost. Not sure if I'm the only one...but you have no signature nor did you mention what your model/model year/build date is...and there are multiple headlight/fog light set-ups...so help us better...can we have some details/info as to what model, model year, build date your X5 is...and what head light/fog light set-up do you have? Do you have halogen or xenon or bi-xenon...are the regular or adaptive headlights...or they pre face-lift or face lift head light assemblies and fog lights?

Thanks Helmuth,

I guess high street retailing isn't what it used to be. I may just go through Schmiedmann and have them sent to the USA so I don't need to lug them through the airport.

Enjoy your Christmas!
