Are the bulbs damaged? Let's replace the front headlight bulbs on the BMW 5 Series. Lift the hood, locate the caps behind the front headlight.

Pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and remove the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver if needed. Install the new bulbs in the front headlight (always ensure the correct type and voltage), and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing.

Turn on the ignition and test the operation of the front and rear lights of the car. Remove the front headlight if you have difficulty with the replacement.
