In this guide, we will explore the instructions on how to disassemble and replace the low beam bulb of the front headlight of the BMW Series 3. To access the low beam bulb, it is necessary to remove the plastic cover located on the front wheel arch, thus gaining access to the inside of the headlight; then we disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb by releasing the metal clip to remove it, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new low beam bulb, of the correct type and with the same fitting; finally, we secure the cover of the front wheel arch.
