Instructions for Removing the Rear Headlight

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

Removing the rear headlight is very simple and does not require special precautions; open the trunk to access the cargo area and remove the inner trim cover located directly at the rear headlight's position; then disconnect the headlight power connector and unclip the bulb holder; finally, unscrew the mounting nuts of the headlight to complete its removal by pulling it out from its position. You will then reverse the process to install the same headlight or a new one (perhaps with white lenses).
