TIA

sounds like you are doing a lot of dismantling on your 5. I suggest you download the service manual that mapinzon posted here:

It's been a while since I've screwed around w/the headlamps, but IIRC, yes, you do have to pull the bumper cover to remove the HL assys.

The plus side is that it's not very difficult.

no you dont have to. It's not easy to get in there but its very possible to get your hands in there to remove and replace the headlamps as well as the fogs. Although the fogs require you to get under the car and remove or loosen the plate on the floor.

drburgos: "no you dont have to. It's not easy to get in there but its very possible to get your hands in there to remove and replace the headlamps as well as the fogs."

Just to clarify, Saint is referring to the complete headlight assemblies for which you absolutely have to remove the bumper to access the bolts that attach the headlights
