I tried searching but did not come up with anything.

I broke the vertical headlight adjuster on my 08 528xi and it needs to be replaced. Is this a DIY project or does there need to be any coding done? Anyone have any clue?

Thanks in advance.

How did you break them?
This was a very common problem on the e39´s where the plastic got so fragile that they broke by them self.
I am kind of hoping that the e60 is less prone to breaking in the same manner.
