To replace the headlight bulb of the BMW 3 Series, you need to remove the panel located inside the corresponding wheel arch: once this panel has been removed, you can detach the inner cover of the optical group. Once this is also detached, you can remove the bulb from its socket and disconnect the power cables.

The new bulb can now be inserted, connected to the connector, and the headlight closed. By doing this, you can verify that everything is working correctly.
