i used a heatgun on my 530i e39 2001. you just need to be patient, unscrew the 2 screws next to the signal, then use the heatgun, most on the top, the bottom will follow, and start in the middle and slowly work around left and right. don't use high temp, i used 250 degrees 5-10 cm away of the plastic, and heat it up for 5-6 minutes, then try, then heat up more and try again, maybe heat it up 3,4 times. heat up just the black plastic, not the transparent one. i used a phones opening kit, plastic flat screwdrivers and stuff, not to damage the headlight. on the first one it took me 2 hours, as i didn't knew what i was doing, o the second one it took me 45 minutes to take it all apart 4 pieces, the front the back, the black plastic in front of the mirrors, and the mirrors. take out the rubber seals from the light bulbs slot last, as it will be the last holding point. the motor holds in the bottom middle, unscrew the motor, then hold it, and slide it to the right, while holding the mirrors and slide them to the left. that is a sliding holding point, don't break it and don't pull anything, they are build to be opened fast if you know what you are doing. good luck guys! i might post a vid on how i did it, i have it recorded most of it. enjoy!! P.S. : make sure you have the right parts to replace, non angel eyes have different ones, more straight and more ridges on them mine has factory angel eyes and xenon, choose the right parts

Seperating the parts of the headlight unit does make this job a lot easier. I have a variable intensity heat gun and have used that to soften the mastic holding the parts together. You don't need to "bake" the headlight unit. Even if you don't have a heat gun a decent hairdryer will do the job. I got the adjusters from Aliexpress for half-a-dozen euros, enough to repair 4 headlight units.

I’m going to try this on my January of ’03 build date headlight. Wish me luck.

Thanks. This process may appear impossible at first, but after doing it it's quite "easy"- especially after this video. It took me less than 2 hours for both headlights (my first try). No way splitting the headlights is easier.

awesome! get my m5t back this month.. cant wait

This will help a lot. Thanks. Will tackle this tonight. Pray for me am not so patient.
