Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Interior dome light bulb

In this video, see how to replace the bulbs or LEDs in the ceiling light of a BMW 5 Series. Use a screwdriver or plastic trim tool to pry between the clear plastic of the ceiling light and its perimeter (without breaking the plastic). Remove the previously detached plastic from the ceiling light. Unscrew the screws on the plastic (if present) using a screwdriver, replace the damaged bulbs/LEDs with new ones (same size and voltage). Reinstall the plastic in its housing with the screws and grille. Test the light's proper functioning before reassembling the piece.
