    Just an FYI. If your have the factory "tool" kit (under the felt, right side, battery cover) you should have a reversible screw driver. The handle has a 10mm opening to remove those nuts.

    @mohamedkhan1270 7 місяців тому

    Thanks buddy, you saved me 20$ (400 south african rands) local service shop said removing the light is like removing half of the rear end, u made it look easy and it wasn't too bad on my side. Keep well.

  • @MrJemtan
    @MrJemtan 7 років тому +6

    Nice tutorial, I had a similar problem, but instead of the bulbs, it was the pins at the bulb connector that was faulty. According the the Mechanic, the pins were fried, if only there was easy access to purchase the BMW parts...

      John G. TV I want to, but it's too soon. I've only had the car for 6 months. Nothing has really come up, I got the car at around 64k miles, now I'm at 70k, no maintenance done to it yet, except brake pads.

  • @drew6391
    @drew6391 6 років тому +5

    If you’re left break light isn’t working anymore and you put a new bulb but still doesn’t work. Then you most likely burnt the fuse. This is very common on f30 bmw’s just a heads up! (-: cost about 160-200 to fix and repair from a shop.

      @drivewithvg9412 Рік тому

      My left brake light and left turn indicator are both not working at the same time and the parking light is dim. I'm like how can they both conk off together. Might be the fuse, thanks

    • @user-yo6cb1sf2n
      @user-yo6cb1sf2n Рік тому

      Sucks for you to get ripped off but all you have to do is locate the burnt fuse and replace it, it’s not that hard

  • @TvMacaroni
    @TvMacaroni 7 років тому +4

    hey, how does the LED in de taillight works? Because is only see a connection for the bulbs. so how are the leds connected?

    • @ShumileSwift
      @ShumileSwift  7 років тому +4

      The LEDs are in the housing, the are powered on by a plug that immediately gets plugged as you plug in that housing that holds the bulb, its kinda weird, if one of those lights were to go out, I think it would be a costly fix rather than just a bulb change...

    I'm getting the right brake light malfunction intermittently. It comes and goes randomly. Dealer said there was no issue (of course). I replaced mine with a Sylvania 7506 12V 21W. Car didn't like it at all. I put the old P21W bulb back in and it was happy again, for now. What did you use?

      I wouldn't pay more than 15k.. depends on which one, 328? Loaded with NAV? AWD? depends on the Trim, if its M sport its immediately worth way more. But my car, like exactly mine, i wouldn't pay more than 13-14k

Always a need for something like this especially with myself not quite being a hands on type of guy just because it doesn't interest me or I do not know enough about something or just flat out don't want to make things worse. Seen your video first and went with it today as I was at Auto Zone getting this changed out by a lady associate. She had known everything about what you explained in the video and was just stuck on how to remove the bulbs as she was just twisting the bulbs and not pushing then twisting. Anyways after seeing your video everything came out great, but I thought you had to wear gloves when touching/changing out bulbs? Thanks a bunch:)
