Lamp Teardown, to replace bulb that shouldn't be replaced separately.
Link to new bulb on amazon amzn.to/3Tbz9Ai
When the warning light bings at you saying the side light is blown you think it's an easy repair, but on these models a bit more work is needed to repair the light.
BMW will only sell you the complete side light lamp for around £50, But it is possible to strip down the lamp to find a small 10 watt halogen bulb that can be replaced.

[@envivo78]

I dont know how many sites I searched online and on youtube to find someone that has this same bulb as mine. Everyone else had a small, all glass bulb for 2008 3 series. Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing this video and the bulb replacement. Same 10w bulb in US for mine. The noise the car makes when this bulb is out gets super annoying. There were parts I had to remove to get to this bulb including the tire, the original tire cover under the car, the housing over all the bulbs and then a housing over this particular bulb. Thanks again for sharing the details and bulb part number!

[@stuartboland5418]

Brilliant video. Helped me swap out the driver side angel eye bulb with ease. Just one thing to note - the original Osram bulb has no lip on the metal casing at the base of the bulb, but my replacement did (Lumro). This stopped the bulb going far enough in. I gently pressed the lip all the way around with pliers until it fitted. Once in, it worked fine.

Great explanation. I replaced mine today. The one improvement I would suggest is to use a 12v 5w mcc ba9s bulb Ring part no RINR469. This has opposing pins and fits easily into the holder. No filing required! Cost about £7 each from mill autoquip. Took me just over an hour to do, thanks to your great guide. 😊👍👍👍

Thanks for taking the time to produce and post this vid. I couldn't get the bulb out of the front of the bulb unit so had to job the back bit and get it out that way. Couldn't have done it without watching this vid though, so my compliments to you brother, this was invaluable info and very well demonstrated.

You're welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@scotwilson4169]

Great step by step guide, so easy to follow. Literally just went outside in the dark with my phone light and removed everything to get to it in 15 mins. However I can't get to the tiny T15 bolt on the white bulb housing to unscrew it since I haven't got a really short stubby driver handle. I'm going to try getting a small ratchet set from work tomorrow, hopefully it will have a 4 or 6mm socket so I can put that over the T15 bolt to undo it👌 I can just about undo the bolt closest to the engine but there's no way I could get the one nearest the wheel. Oh well, at least I know how to take everything apart to get to it👍 One of the problems of having a 1 bed 1st floor flat, there's no room for tools! I guess I took for granted all my dads tools I had access to when I lived with my parents years ago

Correct bulb is 233 or T4W, same bulb with two straight pins at 12/6 o'clock. I recommend connect light, turn on checking bulb working, before attaching everything bcak together. Still fab vid :)

[@markh1823]

Great video, many thanks! My original bulbs were Philips 12024CP (BA9S H10W) and are now Osram 64113. Instead of disassembling the lens and taking the bulbs out the front, I took them out of the back and then modified the holder slightly to put it back together. If a bulb ever goes again, it will take two minutes to change, requiring only a new bulb, snips and a small Ty-Wrap. No more messing with T15 screws etc! My modification is as follows: file/cut off the excess melted plastic of the two tabs of the core bulb holder to allow it to be pulled out easily. About 5mm from the back face of the metal portion, file/saw a couple of approx 3mm groves in the metal 'wings' of the holder where the melted tabs were, with the plastic core holder in place. This allows the holder to be reassembled using a small Ty-Rap, or similar, sat in the groves.

[@aaanton11]

magic 👍🏻 Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@ikeclemente7977]

Just wanted to say a big thank you to ya. You saved me at least 90 pounds for this light fixture just by replacing the bulb alone. Even though I found the correct bulb I still had to file down, just a bit, one side of the holding terminals. Booom! Its all good now. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

[@aaanton11]

I changed one myself but the only thing I did differently was remove the silver surround to just show the bulb, it’s plastic welded but with a bit of bastard they come off.

I have a side parking light error (and lamp is off one side) on the side that is difficult to access in E90. (it is not the Angel eyes, as I have already got it changed to LED and it works). Q1: Can I access those small bulb H6W without going through the whole disassembly? How, and where is this bulb located? Q2: There is a small horizontal cylinder above the light box, with a white plastic hex screw, which is easily accessible. You can see it in the video too. What is this? Could it be the access to the side parking light?? Thanks.

[@georgen9838]

@@aaanton11 ​ He's got a point -- they're 10W. Osram #64113, vs #64132 you got. The way you can tell -- and the nice thing about getting the right bulb, other than the higher brightness -- is that the pips on the bayonet are at 180deg, like the original, so you don't have to file anything down. The 10W bulbs are a little harder to find on Amazon, but online bulb shops have them available for super cheap. Hope that helps if you have to do one of these again!

[@georgen9838]

Oh, one more tip: once I finally yanked the old bulb out, I filed a small notch into the inner lip of the reflector where one pin would go in, so I could slide and twist the new one in much easier (and take it out if I ever have to redo the job.)
