How to change the headlight bulbs on BMW 3 Series E46

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Headlight bulb

Let's see in this video tutorial how to replace the headlight bulbs of a BMW 3 Series E46 produced from 1998 to 2006. First we open the hood of the vehicle and we go to identify the bulbs to be replaced behind the headlight unit. Now for the high beam and low beam the operation will be almost identical, in fact we just need to turn the locking ring anticlockwise to remove the lamp holder and replace the bulbs. The position lights, on the other hand, are placed above the high beam, where it will be enough to remove the pin and thus also replace the position light.
