BMW 330i Headlight Lens and Washer Nozzle Replacement DIY 

This worked great with my Honda 2600 psi Pressure washer ru-vid.comUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP , it came with two different size adapters, and tread tape so you're ready to go. I used it on my sidewalk that was getting dark and it worked great with no sprayer streaks. Just back and forth, really easy and way better than the spray adapters that came with my Pressure washer.

Great video! I searched to find someone with the washer jets. I was trying to remove mine like you said but they gave me hell. I then figured out that you don't have to remove them at all. Just release the clips of the face plate thing and slide the whole bit forward. There is enough clearance for the lights to come out after you do that. Naturally I had already broken the cover by then.

Great video. Several videos on RU-vid on this subject but this is the only one have seen which dealt in detail with replacing the lens to fixture gasket--essential for keeping moisture out. Most just use the old gasket which is a big mistake. Video explained everything in great detail. THANKS!!!

Thanks for posting this video, just replaced the lenses on my car and your clear, informative video made the task very straightforward. The tip of wrapping the paper around the hard to get to bolt was invaluable

Thx a lot mate!!!Helped me a lot!!I'd been driving with the leakage for about two years,got it done finaly!!!

Will the washer pop out even with a drained tank? I was assuming the water pressure forces them out?

them washers are the spawn of Satan. ..but thanks for the video bud, it really helped me out.

Just wanted to say thank you for making this video, it's very informative and the tips and tricks are also very helpful.

We'll I got everything back together using the old gaskets. Went together without much effort but it is a snug fit and you need to snap the upper tabs in first. Check the black seals that fit on top of the headlight bucket and if there are any tears you can patch with silicone. Also check the weather strip on the red trim piece that goes on the bottom of the headlight. If it is loose then re-attach with silicone. Also, there is the headlight type (ZKW or Marrelli) designation on the top of the headlight assembly. Finally, DO NOT use pliers. I tried this and did snap off a piece of the lens on the edge. I attached it with JB and sanded smooth. The solid gaskets will not fit if you have the hollow gaskets originally. Good Luck!

Thank you for this great video. You did such a great job of explaining all of the details in each step.

@mrcengr I can't say i agree here. Too little space to really get to all four, once all screws are removed it slides forward a good 6-8 inches allowing EASY removal of all 4 plugs. Then you have the lens out and have full access to all clips for the body molding (the center connector is easily broken if you dont press the clip inwards and just pull on it like you would have to if it was still mounted)

One of the best presentations I've seen-----

Thank you so much for that video. What makes it even better, almost perfect, are the tips ant tricks. Lots of other comments are just trash compared with your video. I did as you recommended and it worked out. Greetings from Germany :-)

Thank you so much for sharing the video with us. It's helped me a lot with my nozzle washer. God bless you and your family. Thank you again.

Good video for the procedure but the gaskets for the new lenses are too thick to allow the new lens to snap into place. I got them from the Dealer and there is only one part number. The old gaskets are hollow; the new ones are solid and about half again as thick. I took them to a body shop and the manager said you will likely crack the lens if you force it into place. So, I am going to trim the new gaskets to see if I can get them to work. if not I will use the old ones and seal them in the head light buckets with windshield sealant. I'll keep you posted.

@mrcengr i don't agree, the housing tabs are plastic on the top and are part of the lense housing and the bottom ones slide onto a plastic mount that holds the headlight washer assembly. too much pressure (and alot is needed to properly seat the new lenses) could probably snap one making your entire housing worthless and they are WAY more expensive to replace. Also, the lense is very flexible still if new, so using pliers to grab the lip..i dont see an issue with.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

@PMPDaddy68 you can also protect it with cloth, and...if you do scratch it...so what. it's the top of the lenses, light doesnt shine anywhere except the front and all edges of the lense where you would grab are completely covered when the light assembly is reinstalled into the car.

A very helpful video you should post how to remove front bumper too

@mrcengr yes this 'could' work, but mine had some condensation in the lense, plus i am of the school that it's better to replace all seals, gaskets, etc when doing a job if you want to do it right. but, that said...if you have zero condensation issues yes it probably would be ok. but the gaskets are not expensive. better safe than sorry.

Hello, thank you very much for this Video. Quick one! how do you activate the headlight washer? I pulled on the screen washer fluid 5 times, but it doesn't activate the headlight washer pump still. I independently tested the pump and confirmed it working. Thanks again

Thank you for this. I needed this information to change my Windshield washer system. Great inside, and insight.

Thank you Sir! Big help for replacing my lenses on my E46.

that's a one clean car u got there

@mrcengr there are 2 on the bottom as well as the top. i thought i showed those in the video.

What would be the part number of the zkw plastics? Where did you buy them? Thank you!

Great video, thanks! I'm having trouble removing the headlight washer cover assembly from the water supple and I'm concerned about breaking the plastic connector if I pull too hard. Any suggestions?

@mrcengr the next guy will be me ;-) yes i could have done this, just didn't have any handy at the time. i would get something specifically for electrical connections as you don't want anything that is conductive.

hello, Im just wondering what kind of aftermarket air-box you used?

Great DIY, thanks!

Very helpful! Thank u very much!!

Could You hello me with the lenses gasket code parts? I Will I will appreciate it.

Removed my trims a few times and not once drained the fuid

I learned a few things here - YHX

I just got some after market halos installed and the next day my fluid was leaking, do you think it has to do with the headlight fluid?

Thank you!

Great, thank you.

question is how much parts cost ?

Wait a min I have a 2004 330ci zhp and I don't have this feature front windshield washer on my headlights
