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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW 750xi, 2011 BMW 750Lxi, 2010 BMW 750xi, and 2010 BMW 750Lxi. 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!
