tail light instilation help

[BMWlove90]

right.. well i ordered European taillights for a 1997 328is and i want to put them on but it may be difficult considering that i have no idea how to put them on. There is no electrical work or unplugging, its just the "housing" i guess you would call it, or the plastic thingy that covers the bulbs to make it look pretty. So if anyone can help i would really appreciate it. thanks much

haha, stress not! its actually really easy to do. inside the boot (trunk) where you access the light globes, there will be a series of 4 nuts on each side of your car. after undoing these, and removing all of the globes, the lights will pull out from the outside. they may be a little stuck, so you can push on those bolts that the nuts came off of.

good luck!

Yah, the housing was really stuck on mine - it took alot of pulling and carful use of a hammer to get the lenses off. After all, they have been sealed on for 10+ years!

By the way, They're called lenses, but that really doesn't matter, we all know know you mean.
