How to replace the headlight bulb on a BMW 3 Series?

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

Before starting, we will have to engage the first gear and activate the parking brake of our BMW 3 Series, then lift the car. So let's start by unscrewing the wheel bolts positioned near the burned out light bulb, and then removing the wheel itself. By doing so, we will have reached the outer cover of the bulb, which we will have to remove. Once this is done, we will have to unscrew and remove the internal cover of the burned out light bulb as well. When we have completed this step, we will have to disconnect the plug of the bulb and unhook the retaining clip, then remove the bulb, and the disassembly will be completed. To fit the new bulb, we will just have to repeat these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be finished.
