In this video, you can see how to change the front headlight bulb on a BMW X1 E84: Rotate the tires outward to create more space. Then, use a flathead screwdriver to remove a part of the wheel well cover on the side you are working on. This gives you access to the cap that protects the headlight bulb.

Remove the cap and pull out the bulb you want to replace after disconnecting the electrical connector. Replace the damaged bulb with a new one, making sure never to touch the bulb with bare hands, and then put everything back in place.

Operation complete.
