Today's guide will show you the steps to remove and replace the dipped beam bulb of the front headlight on a BMW 1 Series. First, open the bonnet of your car and start by removing the protective plastic cover of the bulb; then disconnect the electrical connector and unclip the metal spring to remove the bulb from the light unit, as illustrated in the video.

At this point, install the new bulb, ensuring it has the same fitting (in this case, type H7); connect the electrical wiring and reassemble everything!
