Replacing Front Headlight Bulb

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

To replace the front headlight bulbs, you need to remove the headlight assembly: this operation is very simple as you won't need to remove the bumper. Open the hood and locate the mounting screws for the headlight, both the upper ones that secure it to the crossmember and those at the bottom of the headlight assembly. Once all screws are removed, pull the headlight out of its housing and disconnect the power connector by sliding down the locking tab. At this point, you can proceed with replacing the bulbs.
