My husband was going to try replacing the light bulb BUT after watching your video we are just going to take it to the dealer… lol… that’s way too much work just to replace the darn light bulb. And thanks for your help. 🙏🙌
Ok, my bottom two bolts on each headlights were almost impossible to remove. The stupid lock nut kept moving. Even when I used vise gripes, the stupid bolt kept moving. After lots of elbow grease was able to get three off but the fourth one even broke my vise grip. So I cut the stupid screw off. When I installed the new headlight assembly, I got rid of that stupid bolt setup and went back to the simple bolt and nut.
Mine came out great only issue I have a slightly larger gap between the bumper and the front of the hood on the right side. In that corner where the pointy edge of the bumper meets the front of the hood. Any suggestions? Thanks
You can use a washer on the screw that holds the bumper on the headlight on the top, basically where the edge is. I wouldn't touch factory installed screws that are aligned to make headlights fit.
Im having problems with the first two screws that are underneath the headlight. Mine didnt come out by just unscrewing them. Mine have some nuts and they spin with the screw, help?
Very helpful video! My left parking light malfunction, can I replace just the light bulb or have to replace the module? can’t find any video about how to replace the XENON Parking light specifically. Thank you.
you can replace just the xenon bulb. I advise you to buy and replace both (left side and right side). and pay attention to the color of the lamp (3000k yellower light, 6000k whiter light). watch this video ua-cam.com/video/BWduI7cQAkA/v-deo.htmlsi=xoHGhO49mNcKAJbh
Thank you so much for the speedy reply, Fernando! I thought the parking light is a separate light bulb from the one u changed in that video. So it’s basically the same bulb? Thank you for making such informative and helpful videos!
you have to remove the headlight carefully to avoid scratches. I had no scratches even though it looks like in the video. But you are right, you have to remove the headlight carefully
When i put mine back I have a hard time positioning it correctly with the fender and bumper angle. I cant seem to get it right theres always gap. What can I do ?
Oh okay. I think the LED module is working because the light under the angel eye is turned on but it is dim. That side of the car was involved in a collision which might have pushed the module inwards. What do you think?
need help i checked all fuses nothing wrong but still the left headlight dosenot work . I am wandering where is the relay maybe the problem is from relay? The car is bmw series 3 2015 X Drive awd
The Daytime lights does not working on right side, also warning on dashboard for DayTime headlights. I suspect the led modules and driver module. I know The driver module can replace easily from wheel side. How about led modules, is it needs remove bumper or headlight fully? Thank u so much
@@fernandomontenegroBMW Hey man, nice video. My angel eye LED closest to the grill on the passenger side is out. Can that replaced without removing the whole set-up? It looks like you might be able to access the screws without taking the entire headlight out. Thoughts?
My passenger side headlight assembly has a large gap where it butts up against the outer edge of kidney grill. Would I have to loosen all 6 screws that hold assembly in place to do this? ( basically push headlight assembly over towards center of car )
"German engineering"....what a joke...They could learn a lot from the Japanese or even American car companies. The most convoluted assembly and design process ever devised by man.
@@fernandomontenegroBMW Of course. And you certainly look like you know what you're doing. I replaced assemblies on almost every brand, except BMW and VW, the two most difficult ones. Even Volvo makes it as easy as a plastic tab and 1 screw or bolt. That job you did is the most complicated I have ever seen. I won't be doing it myself. Great video! Cheers!
Worse car to do anything with headlights, u figure they woulda made the next gen after e90 easier to get to to remove headlight but still need to remove bumper 🤦🏻♂️
Dziękuję Ci panie za te filmik!!!

is truth. sometimes we think it's simple like other cars. i am glad to help you. thanks for your comment
To replace the bulb you I screw the round cap on top of the light to change the bulb. This is for removing the entire fixture
if ur only changing the bulb u dont have to take the whole headlight assembly off lol.
This is NOT a bulb replacement video! It's a Headlight unit replacement - the bulb swap is required because they didn't come with the unit.
Just what i needed thanks for the video
Thanks for your comment. I am glad to help you. 👍

to center the headlight use the screws that are in the video 13:08 and 13:20
@@fernandomontenegroBMW ok I'll give that a try. Thanks!

When purchasing a new oem housing headlights do they already come with light bulbs
No, the bulbs are purchased separately😬
What size torque set will I need? Trying to change mine and I need to pick it up
for you to work on your car, you need a good torque box. size 6 to 17

You are the best and yours videos as well.....thank you mate again
thanks
Before 9:23 after 10:02 that's why you always remove the bumper in order to take out the headlight, now you have fat scraches on the headlight
you have to remove the headlight carefully to avoid scratches. I had no scratches even though it looks like in the video. But you are right, you have to remove the headlight carefully
@@fernandomontenegroBMW 9:36 play the video in slow motion. Scratches appeared as you are wiggle the headlight out.

When i put mine back I have a hard time positioning it correctly with the fender and bumper angle. I cant seem to get it right theres always gap. What can I do ?
the (8:20) part helps center the headlamp

Geez just take the bumper off. All the flexing
Good video.
Can you change the led module without removing headlight?
You will hardly be able to do it without removing the headlight
Where can I buy the xenon headlights thanks
In the autodoc online Store for example
My bmw 4 series right angel eye is not working but the other angel eye is working. What do I need to replace? Thanks
You need change the led module "12:10"
Oh okay. I think the LED module is working because the light under the angel eye is turned on but it is dim. That side of the car was involved in a collision which might have pushed the module inwards. What do you think?
@@wafasamazinggroup if you suffered a collision you may be out of place
Oh okay thank you! So are you saying that I have to take the headlight out completely and the LED module in place?
@@wafasamazinggroup remove the headlight and check that it is not damaged. also check the led modules
Helpful video, but the music is pretty creepy.
UA-cam playlist. Thanks for your comment.
So how long about to take it out and put it back in? An hour? Can you take out without removing wheel? Just turning wheel sharply?
if you don't remove the wheel, you won't have room to work. I recommend removing the wheel. it can take between 30 minutes to an hour
May i know battery need to be disconnected before removing headlight?
for you to replace the headlight, it is not necessary to disconnect the battery.
Bolt keeps twisting on the back
Minecraft music makes it best \
Are the headlights OEM or aftermarket and if they're aftermarket can you send me a link to them?

So much work for a headlight removal... I have removed a few times the headlights of my BMW e39 and it's so easy compared to this...
Yes my friend, different models, different work
My passenger side headlight assembly has a large gap where it butts up against the outer edge of kidney grill. Would I have to loosen all 6 screws that hold assembly in place to do this? ( basically push headlight assembly over towards center of car )
I’ve just done this to my 3 series and the dipped beam points at the floor :/
you didn't tighten the headlight well or you have the bulb loose
@@fernandomontenegroBMWdo you mean the whole headlight unit isn’t tightened properly or the light within the unit?
@@bena1352 yes, it could be 3 things: the bulb inside the headlight comes off; the headlight is not tight enough; the poorly fitted headlamp
@@fernandomontenegroBMW have not got a clue what it is bulbs are in probably lights are in tightly having them adjusted in a few days so I’ll see soon
"German engineering"....what a joke...They could learn a lot from the Japanese or even American car companies. The most convoluted assembly and design process ever devised by man.
new car designers have these difficulties, but nothing that can't be done.

Really? What is this part?
It’s all there I jus missed it the first time sorry
@@kevinmelendez5136 no problem. Thanks for your comment
All this for a bulb change.....
No, for headlight replacement
really f'n annoying!
BMW headlights are so overpriced! Those bulbs are not worth the price it cost to replace them.
These are high-intensity LED lamps. the quality pays.
