I see the clips at the top, but can't figure out how to detach it from the bottom edge.

Thanks for that, I use www.bmwe34.net a fair bit but didn't think to check the headlight removal procedure.... duh.

I find that probing for the release tab is very difficult and when found,great force is required to release it.I almost always remove the bumper first to remove the kidney.Once the bumper is off,you can see the tab and simply pry it to remove the kidney.Bumper removal is also easy.

Ah, I have to take my bumper off too, so I'll do it that way. Where do I look for the tab, under the lowbeam?
