Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to change a headlight bulb on a BMW E90: first, move the wheel outwards on the side of the bulb you need to change, as you will access the bulb from the wheel well. The video highlights the clips you need to remove to take off the wheel well liner from the inside.

This way, you can access the plastic cover that protects the front headlight bulbs, which are secured by two screws at the bottom and two at the top. Once the cover is removed, disconnect the electrical connectors and finally remove the bulb to be replaced.

Always remember not to touch the glass of the new bulb with bare hands, as this will reduce its lifespan.

After the replacement, put everything back in place.
