How to change front lights on BMW E90

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I'll show how to get access to your front lights.
You will see where the H7 light bulb is abd how to replace it.
You will see where the Xenon light bulb is and how to replace it.
It's the same procedure for BMW E90, E91, E92, E93.

    Only guy that actually explained it, gave the names of the types of lights aswell, and even added in the description that’ll work for other e90 models 👍

    Thanks. Very informative. I just replaced the H7. The manual says it can be done from up top and you remove the inner fender. I did it from up top and only had to remove the air filter box (2 minutes since I'm used to it from cleaning the air filter). The Xenon is also easily replaced but can be done by removing the small access panel on the inner fender.

    I was able to do it without taking the wheel off. Just turn the wheel all the way outward, yes outward, I know a lot of other videos say inward, but if you have this version of headlights where you have to take the whole panel off, you'll see why outward works better. I have an '07 328i

    You don't need to take the wheel off to get to the access panel in teh front wheel arches. Just turn the steering full lock to the left to get access to the left wheel arch, full lock to the right to access the right wheel arch. I just replaced both H7 dipped beam (non halo) in my E91 in about 5 minutes... no jacking required. Damned if i can work out how to get to the sidelight bulbs though. Anyone?
