In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the front bulbs on a BMW X3 with LED replacements, which consume less power compared to traditional Xenon bulbs. First, ensure that the key is not inserted.

For the passenger side, detach the windshield washer fluid cap and remove the rear cover of the headlight. Next, disconnect the power connector, grasp the old bulb, and extract it from the housing by turning it slightly counterclockwise.

Finally, connect the control unit to both the power supply and the replacement bulb, install the latter by following the reverse procedure, and repeat the operation for the opposite side.
