How to Remove the Front Headlight of a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Headlight

Let's see how to remove the front headlight on a BMW 3 Series. Open the hood by pulling the hood release lever and secure it. Remove the bolts from the front bumper; take the bumper off the vehicle. Unscrew the mounting bolts on the headlight bracket with a socket wrench. At this point, you will find additional bolts at the bottom of the headlight; unscrew them from the metal plates. Disconnect the bulb holder from the headlight and pull the headlight out of the vehicle body. Install the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always ensure they are the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing. Finally, tighten the headlight bolts with the socket wrench and reinstall the bumper. Test the proper functioning of the lights.
