Hey all,

Just like the topic says, looking for pointers on how to reinstall the front dome light frosted plastic. I installed all the interior LEDs, but I cannot get the front plastic back in. I was able to get the rear plastic back in, but that seems to be 180 degrees different than the front, as far as what places need to "pop" back in.

Any help would be appreciated... Car is 2007 e90 328xi.

Thanks in advance.

Did the same thing I "put" mine back but wasn't it right and fell off so I tried putting the rounded part in first(closest to hood) then flat part n push til u hear it clip, i have 07 328i

Thanks for the input, I will give that a try when I get home. I tried pushing from every angle and just could not get it to pop in last night.

Thats what she said...

OK, I will give that a run as well, later tonight. Seems the whole "assembly" all the switches and lights, push up into the sunroof/roof area. But, maybe it will work.

I wasn't able to push it in either, but I was retrofitting bluetooth anyways, so I pulled the module down from the headliner. Once that is done, the plastic clips on really easily.

Yeah, I thought about doing that, but was hoping to avoid it since other have had success just pushing it back into place. I will give it a run here shortly, just finishing up some work.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks guys...worked perfectly! And yes, push incredibly hard. I guess that is what I was failing to do as I did not want to crack anything.

Lights are done and look great.
