Let's remove the front headlight bulbs with access through the wheel well on a BMW 3 Series. Remove the wheel to gain more access to the bulb compartment.

Use a screwdriver to take off the plastic cover at the bottom of the wheel well, reaching the headlight located in the bumper. After removing the bulb holder, take out the damaged bulb and install a new one (same size and voltage).

Reinstall the plastic cover under the wheel well. Test the lights for proper operation.

Reattach the wheel after completing the installation.
