63 99... Notes for replacing the protective cap of the headlight

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW M3, 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! 
Damaged seals on the protective caps will lead to moisture penetration into the headlight.
This will in turn cause porous cable insulations and malfunctioning of the headlight.

When working on the headlight system, check the protective cap seals.

Replace the protective cap in the event of damage!
