Replacing the Side Turn Signal

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Side marker light

To perform this operation, you need to open the hood and secure it to avoid any unpleasant surprises. The side turn signal is held in place by a side tab located at the center of the fender, which, when pressed, allows the signal to come out forward. Once this is done, you can detach the bulb holder from the signal and proceed to replace the bulb. You can then insert the new signal along the guides on the headlight. The operation is the same for both sides of the vehicle. You only need small screwdrivers to perform it.
