How to Replace the Headlight Bulb on a BMW 3 Series

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

To perform this replacement, you will need to remove the small panel located above the wheel at the top of the fender. To remove it, simply rotate the clips and pull out the panel. Once this is done, you will have access to the back of the headlight, where the protective caps for the bulb sockets are located. To replace the bulb, detach the metal clips and disconnect the electrical connector. Repeat this process for each bulb that needs to be replaced and retrace your steps for reassembly.
