Replacing the headlight bulbs of the BMW Z4 model E85/E86 is a simple and quick task that can be done independently. To carry out the replacement, we need to turn the front wheel inward toward the wheel arch to gain easy access to the headlight housing.

We introduce our hand inside to remove the cover block of the headlight housing. Disconnect the connector from the bulb and remove it by pressing on the metal parts.

The bulb we will use for the replacement is an OSRAM D2S. Insert the bulb into the headlight housing and reconnect the connector. After closing the cap, we proceed with the replacement of the left front headlight bulb.
