Replacing the Position Light on BMW 320d

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

Today, you will learn how to change the bulbs in the headlight on a BMW 320. Looking under the fender related to the affected headlight, you will notice there is a cover to open: that is the access to the light assembly. Once you remove the cover, unscrew the underlying cap. Reach in and locate the socket to remove: unfortunately, on this model, the operation is done somewhat blindly; the socket is removed by turning it a quarter turn. If needed, use a fine tool to assist. It is recommended, to make the job easier and if possible, to raise the car on a lift and turn the wheels to have more maneuvering space.
