my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Remove the wires first. Then, there should be 5 screws to remove them. 3 on top as you can see. One you need to remove the corner indicator, the last one you need to remove the radiator cover (a big piece of plastic with 5 screws). It's on the opposite side as the other one.

ajsmith 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 On this subject ... when removing the front indicators ('92 E36) is it just that clip thing that you need to push out and then it should just slide out? Having huge problems getting them out ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docile 64 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 there is a clip from the side indicator its got notches. you should be able to just see it. press it then pull it out. thats hw i got mine off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajsmith 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah I thort that was all it was. I gave up after nearly snapping it off. Think they might be quite well sealed in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docile 64 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 try wiggling it a bit. as some debris might be stopping it from sliding off.. on that note i have a air compressor in which i clean all the debri off before i tried to pull it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajsmith 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2006 ...whoops, turns out mine had a screw on the bottom outer side. I managed to break the clips before I realised this and had to hack saw the screw off. From what I can make it is a very very poor design as there is no way I can see to get the screw out unless you take the front guard off. For future reference, a '92 318 may have a screw!!!

Docile 64 Report post Posted August 13, 2006 oh sorry to hear that bro... i checked my one for a screw this after noon and found out that my side indicators DID have a hole for the screw.. but the thing is that when i took mine off I didnt even take one off to get it loose.. probably previous owner did something and forgot to put it back in... (ive put a replacement screw there now) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
