BMW X5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Headlight
Operation: Headlight bulb replacement

Since there is not enough space behind the headlight to access the bulbs, it is necessary to disassemble the headlight to carry out this maintenance; however, the removal of the headlight is very simple, it is sufficient to unscrew the four fastening pins (two on the bonnet grille and two behind the side member) and pull the headlight forward and then disconnect the relative sockets, including that of the xenon control unit; once the headlight has been removed, unscrew the fixing screws of the protective cap of the xenon lamp, disconnect the socket and turn anticlockwise to release the relative fixing ring. Proceed backwards for reassembly.
