    Can you tell me which wire goes to the left pin and which goes to the right pin as it is in its position and i am looking at it from the front of the car. One is red w/ blue stripe and one is red with green stripe. I had to make my own connector until i can find that connector for the bpc.

    Some are saying there is an easier way that allows you to get to the bulb covers with them in the car, but I sold it years ago and can't give it a go. This is still the official WIS directions, though.

    @@KeithCars Today when i was going to check the BPC it fell apart. When i disconnected the electrical connector the whole top part came loose and a little spring and some other parts fell out. Is it supposed to be possible to be opened or could this be the reason to why my car is so tired? Couldn´t find any cracked hoses and the air filter was pretty ok. I will change it anyway along with the spark plugs and oil, but i havent got the parts yet.

    I don't believe 2006 and newer instrument clusters are compatible with 2005 and earlier. Note that if you do swap your cluster for another, it will need to be programmed to the car with a Tech2 for the car to function.

    Thanks for the tip. This BMW part number looks like it fits my MY2001 9-5 well. Took some as much as I could from the old fluid (it was already below min and had turned brownish) with a big syringe and some tubing, put CHF 11S, cleaned the lid and the replaced the old gasket (still flexible but with some very small cracks here and there. Hopefully it should stop the fluid from disappearing and gunking up on the outside.

    Keith, thanks for the video! Do you still have the old mirror? I have the same color, a '05 Aero wagon. I lost the bottom outer trim piece. I tied buying one off of eBay, but I couldn't get the paint to match correctly. It's easy to see it doesn't belong. The part I'm referring to is on the exterior and is close to the hood. It has almost a triangular shape to it. I see it actually comes on the mirror assembly. I didn't realize that. It can be separated from the assembly, just snaps on. Please let me know. I would be willing to pay for it. Thanks again. Jon
