my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 Take out the radiator cover (the big piece of plastic that cover the radiator and bridges to the front grill) Take the corner lamps then headlight out of the car, unclip (3 or 4 clips for ZKW, 6 clips for Bosch) then pull apart carefully. If they are realy dirty or you are real anal, you can also take out the eye balls (the circle glass pieces x4) by slicing the seals open with a knift. Clean with dishwash fluid, dry throughoutly then reseal with suitable glass sealant. Put everything back together in reverse order, should take around 2 hours include the "4x eye-ball" part.

my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 BTW, if you knock the lights out of alignment while doing any of these, go to a local WOF station and ask them to use the beam setter for you. My local VTNZ did that once for me for free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 An ultrasonic cleaner is the only way I know of to get the inside of the headlights really clean. Jewellers and the guys that clean house blinds use them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
