How to fit BMW door projectors
- Check and prepare. Park safely, switch the ignition off and open the door. Confirm the replacement matches your original light and connector. Allow a hot lamp to cool before handling it.
- Release the light. At the release notch, use a plastic trim tool to gently release the retaining clip. Lower the unit carefully. Do not force the trim or pull on the wires.
- Unplug the original. Support the light, release the connector latch if fitted and pull the plug from the housing. Grip the connector, not the cable.
- Connect and test. Plug in the new projector until secure. Check the projected image on the ground before clipping it into place. Check left/right markings where supplied. If the light times out, close and reopen the door.
- Clip into place. Locate the fixed end first, then press the retaining-clip end into the opening until secure and flush. Keep wiring clear. If it will not seat easily, stop and check fitment.
- Final check. Repeat on the other door. Check both projections and confirm the lights switch off when the doors close.
