Replace Front Headlight Bulbs on BMW 3

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

Are your front headlight bulbs damaged? Here’s how to replace them. Start by removing the plastic cover at the bottom of the bumper using a suitable screwdriver (turn the wheel inward). Access 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). Reattach the plastic cover under the car bumper with mounting clips. Test the lights to ensure they function correctly. Install the bulbs in the front of the same color.
