[ukgodsavethequeen]

Thanks : )

[Altair8801]

What do you do if you have the M3 bumper? Do you have to remove the bumper first?...

[BrabusTKR]

@Altair8801 look at the link in the description bro

[TheVahane]

Can you remake this with better explanation I have a 99 bmw m3. Or can someone recommend a better video

[BrabusTKR]

@TheVahane sorry response, please click the link in the description to see an M3 bumper

[clarkmcnutt]

wow wished I had watched this b4 wasting 2 hours!! thx u from western PA, right?

[BrabusTKR]

@clarkmcnutt nope, kansas

[skylineandy]

Thanks for the vid saved me breaking the brackets which I just know would have happened

[zurnaik]

Thanks for the tip. Same idea with the M3 bumper but the hole is on the side of the brake cooling duct at the top. The other hole at the bottom of the brake duct is for the adjustment screw. Cheers!

[BrabusTKR]

@zurnaik thanks, i have a new video showing the process with an M3 bumper, check it out!!

[MainStOrchestra]

YES THIS WORKED FOR E34 TOO folks GREAT vID had a little trouble putting the new brackets in but everything worked out

[MainStOrchestra]

i will attempt to put some projectors in my e34. Looks pretty similari was wondering wth that extra bracket was that came on the fog lights. I thought they sent me the wrong lights for a sec lol great vid i'll b back

[Mikebike68]

Thanks man. I almost used the screwdriver method myself I knew there had to be a better, proper way to remove.

[KHOALTYBMW]

hey - hope you dont mind, but we are going to embed this on a DIY guide, this is one of the best videos we've found.. nice work on going over the problems you had too before showing how to install, hopefully people watch the whole thing, there's nothing left out!

[BrabusTKR]

@KHOALTYBMW haha not a problem at all, I'm glad to help out the bimmer community.

[sebas355]

great video lots of help!! i orderes the same exact bumper lip that u have in the car. How did u install it?

[BrabusTKR]

@sebas355 good choice! I use 4 screws on the inside of the fender area of the bumper.

It held on very well until I drove through a yard and ripped it to pieces.....

[bungalowmo]

Great video my friend!! One question....when doing the passenger side, is the release clip (thingy that you push w/screwdriver) on the left, just like drivers side, or is the clip on the right, making both of these clips toward the center?

Thanks! Mine are both a cracked mess. Very embarassing! :0(

[BrabusTKR]

@bungalowmo yes they are mirror images of one another so both clips are towards the middle

[supr2nrx]

u sir, have provided a service to your nation. Thank you very much for the information, i will use it for my benefit.

[BrabusTKR]

Thanks everyone for pushing this vid past 10k views :D

[jen21forever]

[abzys]

@jen21forever Sometimes the spring comes off the clip

[leeson187]

[leeson187]

Thank you so much! It was exactly how you described it. 

[1996Accord]

[BrabusTKR]

[bimmer507PTY]

[milekd]

P.s, also works on the M3, the bracket must be the same part. Thanks again.

[milekd]

YOU ARE A **STAR** . I was prodding away for ages before I watched your post. I was at it for so long I was starting to get angry. Thanks for stopping me from smashing my car. I was about to rip the thing out with my teeth!

[BrabusTKR]

@milekd glad to be of service to the bimmer community :)

[brshah19]

[nikouay]

Very helpful video,greetings from Bulgaria :)

[BrabusTKR]

@nikouay You're very welcome! hows the weather over there??

[sphinxtk]

What a brilliant video!

I was fully prepared to jack the car up, take off the arch liner etc etc becuase I didn't know about this clip, you've just saved me about 15 minutes! Cheers!

[BrabusTKR]

@sphinxtk glad i could help!

[droop4]

so i figured out how to take them out on my own, now i want to put it back, but its not clicking into place. Any advice there?

[BrabusTKR]

make sure that the pivoting switch thing that locks the light into place is not broken, missing, or backwards.

Other than that I would make sure the bracket is aimed so that the fog will easily slide in.

if nothing is working, I would take the bracket out to see if the light will fit into it outside the car.

if nothing works you may need a new bracket

[droop4]

@BrabusTKR - yep

I went out that same night and after a few tries i pulled the other fog light out to compare.

Sure enough, the lock slot that locks on the fog light is broken.

Looking for a new one now. Any advice there?

[OpticalToxin]

thanks for the video. i was about to do what you did and shove a screwdriver in the side and force them out.

[BrabusTKR]

glad i could save you some money

[swe3t23]

thanks very helpful. I have a 1998 328i and i cracked fog light lens.

[BrabusTKR]

glad i could help!

[AxDUBZxSODMG]

[BrabusTKR]
