How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Headlight bulb

Let's see how to replace the headlight bulbs on a BMW 3 Series. Start by using a screwdriver to open the cover located in the plastic splash shield of the front wheel, reaching the side fog light located in the bumper. After removing the bulb holder, take out the damaged bulb and install a new one (same size and voltage). Reinstall the plastic cover of the wheel splash shield. Replace the bulbs in both fog lights (to ensure the same type of illumination at the front). Test the lights to ensure proper operation at the end of maintenance.
