How to replace the headlight bulb of a BMW 5 Series.

Model: BMW Serie 5 E60, E61 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Headlight bulb

Let's briefly go over the step-by-step instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the headlight bulb of the BMW 5 Series. First, we open the engine hood and start unscrewing the fixing screws we find on the top of the front headlight. We disconnect the electrical connector of the bulbs to remove the optical group, as shown in the video. Now we remove the plastic protective cover of the bulbs, releasing the dipped beam bulb. We replace it with a new one, of the correct type and having the same attachment, and reassemble the front headlight!
