    This is one of the best produced, detailed, and easy to follow videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam! Thanks and now I want to trash any and all of my stupid videos. Really well done!

    So what about if my turn signal bulb, the previous owner decided to snip the wires to the socket. So i have no socket or bulb... Bulb is easy to get but i looked on bmw parts now and bought the part the bmw technician told me to get and it was not the correct part at all. So im at a loss right now.

      I'd try an auto recycler (junkyard) to see if they have one.

    Thank you! I'd like to add that some dielectric grease can be added to the assembly. Thats what Autozone told me at least *shrugs*

      The inside cover is a real pain. The retaining bar gets in the way. Make sure that it is fully out of the way.

    Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post this. It's saved me a LOT of hassle - the BMW handbook is hopeless! Thanks again.

      Sorry, the blog is shut down. It had become too expensive to maintain. I’ve been using PIAA 17655 H7 Xtreme White Plus High Performance Halogen Bulbs in my Z4. They provide the best lighting I’ve found. Hoping to move to LEDs at some point, but the technology needs to mature a bit more for H7 conversions. Thanks for watching!

    Hi there, I am buying a z4M like yours and wonder if you have noticed the gap -5mm- between the headlight and upper part of the bumper? that made me think that the car was accidented, but no the carproof is clean! Any thoughts?

      @AmeerAlkadi 5 років тому

      Aziz HACHIMI I think they come like that, my z4m has the exact same gap

    Why do manufacturers make it increasingly harder to change bulbs. I’m just glad this wasn’t a bumper off job

    It was easier than it looked in the video. Thanks to the detail in the video, I could replace the bulb with minimal effort.

    Do you have a DIY video on how to replace the DRL / flash to pass bulb? (the inner bulb next to the low beam headlight). I can't find any DIY videos for that bulb.
