Replacing Headlight Bulbs on BMW 3 Series

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

Are the headlight bulbs on your BMW 3 Series burnt out? Let's see how to remove them. Open the hood by pulling the lever located at the bottom of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Lift the hood. Remove the large headlight cover with a screwdriver (located at the back of the headlight). You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the socket out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the socket into the headlight housing. Reinstall the headlight cover on the BMW.
