Re-seat Headlight - resources needed

I need to re-seat the passenger (right) headlight as it was "bumped into" and the black plastic line around it has been pushed in. Before I start in I was curious, beyond youtube (where it can be a crap-shoot if you want instructions specific to year and model), what resources are around to help me plan out the work. Things like what needs to be removed to work the headlight out, what screws and where?

I'm new to BMW ownership and I've become accustomed to Haynes manuals for the other cars I've worked on. I don't believe there is such a thing for BMW's?
