[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks David.

Ridiculously easy to follow, concise and extremely well presented. Good job mate.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you

[@knight3930]

You saved me $150 at the dealership price to replace the bulb. Thank you so much.

[@Flipplt]

Thats criminal price

[@500BHP]

After my E90 bulb 💡 was blown I used this video as a guidence. I showed to a friend today for his BMW. LIFE MADE EASY.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Ankush

[@500BHP]

I should be the one thanking you for saving us some money 💷

[@basilthefox]

The clip came out when I took my bulb out. Watching your video helped me put my bulb back in after a bit of messing. Thank you.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@sandmanjono1239]

[@chbonnici]

A first class teacher in action. Thank you so much God bless you. Excellent Video. Well explained.

[@brakeduster]

5yrs on it's still a useful video. Many thanks - Brian in Trim Meath 😊

[@paulhorrocks4868]

Great easy to follow guidance. Many thanks, Paul

[@ciaranlogue2310]

Hadn't the patience for that wheel arch business, but this was a great help for going in from the bonnet. Saved me a few swear words to say the least. 🤟

[@inspectorkev6092]

Quick and to the point, great vid

[@Wayland3er]

Thanks for this, massive help. Worst part was trying to get the wheelarch flap back and locked in

[@steves7013]

Cheers Gérard, I had forgotten how to do this after watching your video last time a bulb went on wife's BMW !

[@Codyodyody]

as a person who has no mechanical experience, this is so helpful for me, thank you!

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

👌👌🙌🙌

[@hicklets5826]

Thanks! This was a brilliant film - we just fitted a new bulb on route to France...

[@emrahsinanovic2461]

I bought H7 LEDs 6000k and D1S Xenons 6500K will they work?

[@colincooper1487]

Perfect explanation and visuals. Thanks so much for posting this, it made what was looking like becoming a real saga end up as a 10 minute job. Brilliant stuff. =o)

[@psl_test6953]

Thankyou for this, took me 5 mins and job done !

[@shukeelc5177]

Brilliant video thanks. I just bought an e90 and was struggling to fit my fat hands in from the bonnet. I had no idea about going in from the wheel arch. Amazing. I was thinking I might have to remove the headlight or something drastic. Much appreciated

[@danishraja8021]

Great video I followed your instructions and it worked

[@kellymurray216]

This works!! Not much room for the hand to work under the wheel arch but got there in the end!! 👍 👍 👍

[@777waz]

Clear instructions - thank you so much. Saved me a great deal of time and hassle.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

[@nickbadsha6178]

[@ODCO23]

thank you brother

[@lucsparrow8804]

Thanks man!

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Cheers Luc

[@yvesrosenberg]

Perfect video. You can see the temple exactly. It is very important how it clicks into place. Amazingly, I had problems with my e90 after changing the bulb. Even though the bulb was sitting perfectly, I had to lower the headlight. Please make sure that the new bulb is not touched on the glass body with your fingers. Thank you for the helpful video.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Cheers Yves, happy I could help

[@mariorijavec5847]

Thank you for the video It wasn't that complicated at all when I see how to do it

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Cheers Mario

[@anthonylane]

You are the only one on here to show how to get the retaining clip off........I've tried 5 times now and the clip will not budge.....

[@andreicadariu5863]

What bulb you have on the right side? Is very powerful and bright

[@Daniel-wg4sw]

Thank you so much, left a like. What bulbs did you put in? I bought some H7 white light and it’s still ugly yellow color

[@neilcowmeadow3551]

Thanks

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

👍

[@robertomozae7133]

Perfect

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Roberto

[@masthox_9848]

Bonjour merci pour la vidéo. Je vais changer toutes mes ampoules avant. Les ampoules présentées dans la vidéo c'est bien juste pour les feux de croisement ? Quelle autres ampoules dois-je prendre ? (Feux de route, position etc..) ? Question bête je sais mais je ne trouve pas la réponse à ma question sur le net ? Merci d'avance

[@MDOGandCDOG]

Hope you can help,
As I was doing this, the metal clip around the bulb was missing on mine and looked like the previous owner did a cowboy job with some metal wire. Can I buy a replacement metal clip for the bulb as it’s loose atm without it? Thanks.

[@BlessedEraProduction]

It so simple and easy when I watch the other video showing me without needed to jack up the car so many step and thing to screw

[@mjojrjr6231]

They probably remove the fender undertray for better access.

[@ren4mar]

helpful:) btw, how many days this car was under water?

[@bodge6886]

I bought Haynes manual but it does not tell you how to do it so when I watched this I did not know how easy it was👍

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you 🙏

[@WhatUpTKHere]

How do you change the inner bulb though?

[@SK7MUFC]

Hi, I'm having a problem where the bulb is still loose even when the retainer clip is in place?

[@HauNgoDotCom]

Thank-you!

[@EmpraMcdade]

You got the link to these headlight bulbs?

[@nielsvierhouten8172]

👌🏻

[@stevelake9333]

One of the simplest videos on this after seeing loads of over complicated ones 👍 , is this the same process for a 2010 e90 318d ? Also do you have a video on how to change the bulb that illuminates the halos/angel eyes ?
Cheers

[@Daffidlololo]

Hi, how to replace parking light and firstly where is it? Is it this white plug between headlamp and indicator?
If yes, I need a solution how to take it out.

[@fightingcock6920]

Does the apply to 2006 750li too?

[@Anonym12351]

I sitll get the headlamp issue warning on the dashbord and its still defected or something..

[@dancoulson6579]

You see, this is just another little reason why I'll never get rid of my old car.
Just pop the bonnet, remove the cover from the rear of the headlight, and enjoy a good 12" of space at your disposal.

[@christiane.reyesmunoz5437]

What libulb did you use?

[@harrybawa9168]

And whats the best place or website to order

[@emmylouhaught8572]

Is it the same if it's the other one that is out? 🥺

[@harrybawa9168]

I want to order LED Bulb for my BMW 3series 318D F30.
Can anyone help me which No. bulb i need to order pls ?

[@anthonylane]

They are illegal if not fitted originally

[@boysabtu7728]

Hello everybody,what the code bulb

[@emrahsinanovic2461]

I bought H7 LEDs 6000k and D1S Xenons 6500K will they work?

[@AitchT.]

Emrah Sinanovic no

[@AitchT.]

I believe if you have H7 fittings, a D1s will need an upgraded fitting

[@RA55BAK]

Cannot for the life of me get the retaining clip back in place to keep the bulb in place keeps pinging back

[@20P4U]

My cap wont come off. It twists both ways but wont come off

[@M_M653]

That is white color?

[@fatimah3463]

And they wanted to charge me $800 for that?! 😐 if i got o riely or something can they help me find a replacement bulb?

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

BMW = Break My Wallet!

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

:)

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Ignoring the fact that one even needs to jack up the car or remove the wheel, just to change a headlight bulb.

[@asankovlogs]

Which one is the fuckin high beem dog

[@Dieswartkat021]

WRONG GLOBE REPLACED!!

[@roskoswervin7850]

Dick I have to lift the car to switch the bulb

[@bensonstoltzfus2289]

[@EthioBallerz]

Amazing video

[@asankovlogs]

Which one is the fuckin high beem dog
