Remove the front headlight bulb from a BMW 3? Let's go through the process of removing the damaged bulb. Open the hood and lift it. Locate the headlight cover cap (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. You will find the bulb that needs to be replaced.

Pull the socket out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver if it is difficult to remove by hand. Install the new bulb and insert the socket back into the headlight housing.

Turn on the lights and check the operation of the new bulb. Close the hood after the replacement.
