Removing tail light
- Thread starter flybobbie
- Start date
Wish I'd watched this video before I did mine a the weekend, I didn't raise the roof which meant I had a bit of trim constantly getting in the way 
I should've taken a photo, but on the drivers side on the bumper underneath the lamp do you have what look like 3 drain holes? I can't see them on the passenger side and not sure if they should be covered with foam or something.

It's a YouTube video. Completely disconnected from photobucket...
Good to see the Clangers again any how. :lol:
Hello,
I have water in one of my tail lights. Is anyone knowing how to remove the lights? (The video in this thread is removed). Please if you have an advise from the very beginning, how to remove the textile cover in the trunk ets.

Blind; I found it just above. Very helpful.

You can use newtis [1] for info. Just follow all the tasks (and preliminary tasks) and there should be no need for a video.

I did this and took a few pics that may help people:

Other than buying direct from BMW, that's got to be the safest way to buy a sensitively pre-owned E89. Well done and welcome. Always detailed my cars Swissol/Swisswax products and looking forward to spending a full day next spring on my Zed. David

I have just replaced my right tail light. Was sealed but clip broke and water entered.
Bought new one, take apart.
Glue the rubber trim in place, then coat it with glue, i usedEvostick spray.
Then reattach and spray glue around the outside so it runs nicely down to the sealing edge.
Did all this to the left light when replaced 6 years ago, no leaks since.

I used this video today to swap out the OSR (right) light unit without much trouble. Had I not used the video Iād be cussing trying to get the trim panel out (without knowing to lift the boot lid on the rear hinges). Really helpful and recommend to others
