BMW E39 M5 Headlight Adjuster Repair and amber USA JDM upgrade - DIY How To Guide

Welcome to another BMW E39 M5 DIY how to video guide.

Today we will be taking you through the process on repairing the facelift "angle eye" style headlights that are prone to becoming defective with broken adjusters.

The process of changing the adjusters can be done in one of a few ways, the method we use today is to heat the headlights in an oven at 180 degrees celcius for 3 to 4 minutes to soften the butyl adhesive which then allows us to remove the headlight lens cover.
Some people have had success in going in through the rear to change the adjusters, but this is a process that is cumbersome and you don't get chance to give the inside of the headlight a full clean.

We also look at how to convert the UK spec headlights to the JDM/USA spec using a very simple process which converts the clear/silver reflectors and indicator lens to amber/orange.

Brand new headlight covers are available on eBay for £100 delivered, these are of exceptional quality and fit the OEM Hella headlight cases perfectly. I went down the route of brand new clear lens covers for the headlights as the original ones fitted were past saving due to deterioration with age and stone chipping/pitting.

As with any work on the headlight system, once you have refitted the headlights you will need to set the beams correctly for your country of use - This is a legal requirement to prevent other road users becoming blinded from a wrongly adjusted headlight beam.

Thank you for watching and I hope for find this video helpful. Please drop me a comment if you want to know anything that you feel I may of missed.
