Replacing Front Bulbs

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Headlight bulb

Headlight bulbs, huh? Let's go through the process of removing the bulbs from the front headlight of a BMW 3 Series. Lift the hood, and locate the inspection cap on the top of the headlight. Once there, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; remove the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (always ensure the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing. Always close the headlight with the safety cap to maintain the integrity of the bulbs. Turn on the headlights at the end of the installation to check their operation.
