Reflector delete?

its.showtime · 08-19-2012, 09:37 PM

I placed an order to get matching side reflectors for my 2011 black sapphire 335is.

I need some help taking the existing orange reflectors out and putting the new ones in. Does anyone know how his is done?

Try the DIY section, then the index sticky. I think I remember seeing a tutorial.

Turn your front wheel all the way to the right to replace DS (opposite for PS) for easier access
Heat backside/around the original sidemarker with hairdryer or heat gun
Carefully catch an edge and pry (working your way around) sidemarker out
Clean all old 3M tape residue
Attach new

BTW, that DIY video is 10 min/53s long - 10min is watchin some guy heat the sidemarker with a pink hairdryer, 53s of actually removing the item

It feels like it's never going to come off, but it eventually does. You need to hold the hair drier on it for like 10 minutes
