How to Replace the Headlight Bulb on a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the headlight bulb on a BMW 3 Series, access the inner part of the corresponding wheel well: here you will find a headlight protection panel that must be detached by removing the appropriate clips. Once the panel is removed, locate the bulb connector, which can then be disconnected to pull the bulb out of its housing. After removing the old bulb, insert the new one, connect it, and then cover everything with the corresponding panel inside the wheel well.
