Video tutorial

Here’s how to remove the front headlights from a BMW Z3. Lift the bonnet to access the securing screws for the front headlights. Unscrew the securing bolts on the headlight housing using a socket spanner or battery-powered screwdriver.

Disconnect the bulb holder from the headlight and remove it from the vehicle body. Fit the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always with the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing.

Finally, tighten the headlight bolts with the socket spanner. Replace the headlight bulbs if they are damaged (with parts of the same type and voltage).

Turn on the headlights for a test.
