Replacing License Plate Light Bulbs

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: License plate light

Replacing the license plate light bulbs is very easy as it simply involves extracting the light holder by prying it sideways to release the retaining metal tab; once the light holder is removed, take out the old bulb and insert the new one (bayonet type), ensuring it lights up properly. After that, reposition the light holder in its place, making sure it clips in correctly; if you notice a difference in brightness between the new bulb and the other light holder, replace that one too, possibly opting for LED bulbs.
