Replacing H7 Headlight Bulbs on BMW 5 Series E60

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Headlight bulb

Working with the engine off and the parking brake engaged, lift the hood and secure it. Now, as shown in the video, remove the rear cover of the H7 bulb by pressing the designated tab. The space to disconnect the connector is very tight, so if you can, use your hands; otherwise, use a pair of needle-nose pliers. Slightly rotate the connector and pull it out of the socket. Once you have removed the connector with the bulb attached, literally pull the bulb out to replace it. The video shows the low beam as an example, but the procedure is similar for all H7 bulbs.
