Product Description
BMW 325Ci Coupe 2001-2005 Stainless Headlight Accent Trim, 2 Pieces (HL25900)
HL25900 is a two-piece headlight accent trim for the BMW 3 Series, listed specifically for the 2-door 325Ci Coupe, model years 2001 through 2005. The single Fitment row covers five years and names that coupe only. If your 3 Series is a different model or body, call us before ordering, because this kit isn't tagged for it.
The two 3 Series accents are US-made, polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge. Mounting the 3 Series accents uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The catalog doesn't give a width or describe exactly where around each lamp the pieces sit, so rely on the product photos for placement, and tell the two pieces apart before you peel any liner.
The trim installs directly over the existing surface, with no drilling, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. On a coupe from these years, check the surface where each piece will go for chips, flaking or oxidised paint, and repair or polish it to a firm finish first. The tape can only hold to a sound surface.
To install, wash the area, rinse and dry it, and wipe it with a degreaser; older paint often carries layers of wax. Hold each piece in position with its liner on, compare it with the photos, and mark its ends with painter's tape. Stand in front of the car to confirm the two pieces look even. Peel one liner at a time, press each piece firmly along its length, and go back over both after a minute. The Installation tab has more detail.
The 325Ci sheet lists a full set of cross-listed parts for the same coupe. GC25900 is a one-piece gas door cover trim and LP25900 a one-piece license plate bezel at 6.33 inches. PP25900 is a two-piece pillar post set. Along the sides, MI25900 is a six-piece body molding insert kit at 0.8125 inches, and TH25900 is an eight-piece rocker kit at 1.188 inches whose note says it installs below the door and also spans from the bottom of the door up, a combined label we'd suggest checking in the photos. WQ25900 is a four-piece full-length wheel well accent set, and RD25900 is a two-piece rear deck accent at 2.5 inches. WQ25901 is listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
Polished 304 stainless gives a crisp, bright outline at the front of the coupe, and 26 gauge keeps the pieces slim. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight before washing. Afterward, care is mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads.
If you'd like more than the headlight accents, the sheet makes it possible to trim the coupe front to back. Confirm your model year and that your car is the 325Ci before ordering; your records show both. Questions about the coupe fitment or the rocker kit?

Installation tips: Head Light Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
