How to Replace the Headlight Bulb on a BMW 3 Series

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

To replace the headlight bulb on a BMW 3 Series, remove the bolts securing the front wheel corresponding to the bulb you need to replace. Once the wheel is removed, detach the inner cover of the wheel well to access the back of the headlight. By removing the circular cover, you can pull out the underlying bulb, disconnecting its connector and connecting the new bulb to it. The piece can then be inserted back into the headlight, reassembling all components inside the headlight.
