BMW Repair: headlights, assembly press, headlight assembly

Question
2 questions how do you remove the bumper cover and the whole headlight assembly on a 2000 328

Answer
Sab, headlight assembly can be removed without removing bumper. Remove turnsignal assembly. Press the tab down through the hole in the fender flange. Wiggle out turn sigan assembly and disconnect. Remove trim strip below headlight. Unclip from center and pull out. The out clip is difficult and takes a little time to unclip without damaging. The head light has four electrical connectors to disconnect from various lights. Headlight has four retaining bolts, two upper and two lower. 8mm heads. Scribe a circle in the plastic around the retaining bolts to minimize misalignment upon reinstalling. If you have headlight washing system then the cover needs to be removed before the trim piece. Let me know if you need instruction on bumper removal.
