Headlight Replacement BMW Serie 3 F30 F31

[@amanriquezimperiale]

Simply turn the tires completely to left side, remove the square cover shown in 1:54, press down the two clips, then you can open the headlight cover, turn counterclockwise, first remove the connector, remove the lamp clips, and then reverse the procedure. To make this easier, you can remove the tire.

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

This video is for changing the complete headlight, not for changing the bulb. To change the bulb I have another video. You're right, to change the bulb you don't need to remove the wheel but if you have time and want to do everything calmly you can remove the wheel that has the most space

[@LVLEE]

must give BIG LIKE to you for being so patiently and clearly showing every steps yet holding 1 hand camera. TQVM! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When purchasing a new oem housing headlights do they already come with light bulbs

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

No, the bulbs are purchased separately😬

[@katherinereyna2153]

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. 🙏🙌

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

is truth. sometimes we think it's simple like other cars. i am glad to help you. thanks for your comment

[@stlswagger]

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

[@kreisiboy1888]

if ur only changing the bulb u dont have to take the whole headlight assembly off lol.

[@liamkelly014]

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.

[@Michael-dy1jh]

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.

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

good work michael. sometimes the work gets complicated but there's always a way to solve it

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.

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIjHpnxtmLZ0oaMsi=xoHGhO49mNcKAJbh

[@qqtv3706]

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!

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

@@qqtv3706 just replace the led module at minute 12:14 of this video and you need to remove the complete optics

I have to do this on my F30 (passenger side only) to figure out how water is getting inside the headlight every time it rains which is almost every day lately here in Miami. It works fine but sooner or later its gonna probably short out. i really don't want to have to replace the whole headlight assembly because of a leak

to center the headlight use the screws that are in the video 13:08 and 13:20

[@mrbrainchild7637]

@@fernandomontenegroBMW ok I'll give that a try. Thanks!

[@Supremepikachu]

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.

[@alannga]

May i know battery need to be disconnected before removing headlight?

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

for you to replace the headlight, it is not necessary to disconnect the battery.

[@scottjohnson8316]

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?

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

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

[@fernandomontenegroBMW]

You need change the led module "12:10"

[@wafasamazinggroup]

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?
