Great Video. As a note to anybody watching it, just turn your wheels and you can get to the bulb hatch, it is not necessary to take off the wheel. Be mindful that this will limit working space however.
Hi Fernando, your F31 battery access video really made life easy for me when I had to disconnect my battery. Now my right headlight is out and I find this video. Thanks for posting these videos and keep them coming. Regards from Michigan USA.
Thank you. The retaining clip was the hardest part, I had been watching another video and what stuck at the point. Then I found yours and figured it out.
Tbh most helpful video I’ve watched. I just wish you showed the end, I couldn’t get the metal wires to clip back on at the top :( after hours of trying. Idk maybe something broke but I haven’t been able to figure it out.
hi, it's true the last part was missing. sorry. in the end, after placing the lamp holder, just fit the plug that was removed at minute 1:02 Thanks for your comment
Hi Fernando, was this Philips bulb the one from the factory? I am asking because, when I bought my F34, the light output was insanely good, I was blown away how good the lights are compared to my previous car with xenon. Recently one bulb died, so I let my garage change both bulbs (They fitted Osram) and what a disappointment. It is like some halogen H7 now : ( ...terrible. So I am trying to figure out what is the original bulb, which I guess was fitted in my car before. Thank you in advance!
Exactly. This is what my 2015 335 f30 looks like (not h7 bulb) welp back to expensive ass DS bulbs. Thought I took a break from my 06 530. Nope!!! Back to expensive ass DS I guess.
you only need to replace it when a lamp goes out. and you need to replace both to have the same light intensity and the same color. the ideal is to replace it with good xenon lamps because otherwise they will have a good intensity of light.
As I see there is some F30 with Osram Xenarc, and some with Philips Xenstart fitted by factory. Is there any rule, what is production year of your F30?
From what I can tell the Philips are clipped on as in this video, the Osram is clicked on and it doesn't need a clip and is found on later model years. Make sure you know which one you need!

Yes, is true. Thanks for your comment
Turn the wheel OUT, not in, that would give you the most room to work with.
@@philsipad Yes, exactly, out, not in.
After I found this video I was done in 15 seconds. I didn't remove wheel just jacked the car up a little bit. Gave me space I needed. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment. I am glad to help you.

yes, this is the original lamp. be careful because other cheaper brands don't give you such a good light. and you should always change the two bulbs
@@fernandomontenegroBMW Thanks for such a quick response. Have a good day!
@@zblazek2 You're welcome
As projectors age, they develop a cloudy layer on the lens. That needs to be cleaned inorder for peak performance.
Thank you 👍👍👍

True
do i have to buy these xenon or can i use any else? my car is from 2012 do i need to replace the xenon light now after 8 years?
you only need to replace it when a lamp goes out. and you need to replace both to have the same light intensity and the same color. the ideal is to replace it with good xenon lamps because otherwise they will have a good intensity of light.
do you need to disconnect the battery before changing the bulb, and also , is there only one bulb for head/dip?
You don't need disconnect the battery. The xenon bulb is one for head
I'm struggling on how to put the bulbs back in any help ?
put on the lamp. the lamp arm goes from left to right. the opposite of when you take. sorry the video is not visible.
As I see there is some F30 with Osram Xenarc, and some with Philips Xenstart fitted by factory. Is there any rule, what is production year of your F30?
sorry, but what is your comment about? my F30 is 2013

Great video. But, what if the DRL bulbs aren’t turning on?( the bmw halo rings) Is there a way to replace these?
It is necessary to remove the complete headlight
Fernando Montenegro I was really hoping you weren’t going to say that. 😭 lol
@@patrickgodon4978 now imagine what the new LED headlights look like ... you always have to remove the headlight... 😡
Do you need to reset something after installing new xenon light bulbs?
No. Only change
@@fernandomontenegroBMW ok thx for your fast reply. 👍
What is the Brand of the Xenon ?
I buy Osram or Philips
@@fernandomontenegroBMW Works with low and high beam?
@@salomon453 yes
