Let’s look at removing the headlight bulbs on a BMW Z3. First, lift the front bonnet of the car and locate the rear of the front headlights. Remove the protective cover from behind the headlight to access the bulbs to be replaced.

Disconnect the bulbs from inside the headlight and then from the bulb holder (where the electrical cable is connected). Once all damaged bulbs are removed from the headlights, replace them with new ones.

After connecting the bulbs to the bulb holder, secure them back in the headlights.
