BMW XENON BULB REPLACEMENT AND HEADLIGHT REMOVAL - DIY

A short tutorial on how to replace xenon bulb and also, how to remove headlight from your car, which is the tricky part of this job.
You will need
- D1S bulb (depends on your model, mine is E60 5 series)
- T30 torx long screw driver
- H8 socket (8mm)
It is relatively easy job. It takes about an hour. Tricky part is getting the headlight in and out. Take your time and you´ll be fine.
There is a BMW warning, that the lights must be OFF for any headlight manipulation. Be carefull, make sure the ignition is off, headlights in 0 position.
A word of warning - I am not a professional mechanic. Should you choose to follow this tutorial, you do that at your own risk.

Can you clarify what an H8 socket is? I found the torx t30 screw driver online but have no idea what an H8 socket is.

[@DIYProjectX]

Sorry for confusing description. It means regular 8mm socket (H = HEX).

I noticed the light didn't stay illuminated after installation. It illuminated intermently is that to be expected after new install?

[@DIYProjectX]

I didn't noticed what you are describing.

@@DIYProjectX at the end of the video it looks like the light comes on then goes off

[@DIYProjectX]

The inner part only has the ring. No light.
