Before you begin, open the hood of your BMW 3 Series. Start by removing the rear cover of the burnt-out bulb.

Next, disconnect the electrical connector, then unclip the retaining clip. This will free the burnt-out bulb.

At this point, pull the bulb out from the back of the headlamp, and you will have successfully completed the disassembly. To install the new bulb, simply follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be properly completed.
