How to Replace Traditional Bulbs with LED Bulbs

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Light bulb

The following video will show you how to replace the traditional bulbs in your car with the increasingly popular LED bulbs. These are specific operations for one model but generally apply to other car models as well. Use a screwdriver to release the clips to access the front headlights. Disconnect the connector and replace the bulb with the LED bulb, attaching it to the connector. Now move on to the interior lights. With a very simple operation, release the bulb holder and replace the bulb. Be careful to insert the LED bulb with the correct polarity; if you reverse it, it won't light up. It's best to check that it works before reassembling everything. The same applies to the glove compartment light, trunk light, and all others that follow.
