Check Turn Signal Functionality

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

If activating the turn signal causes the indicator light on the dashboard to blink very rapidly, it is likely that one of the bulbs (front headlight, front fender, rear light) has burned out. With the turn signal still activated, check which bulb is not blinking and replace it. In the video, the damaged bulb is the front headlight, and the replacement is extremely simple since you can access the bulb holder without removing anything; once the bulb is replaced, check its proper functionality.
