Replacing a BMW Daytime Running Light

[@6degreefloat]

Mark, your tutorial is great. You're clear, concise, and know your stuff. Thanks for making videos that the novice can follow!

[@harmandeepsingh4607]

You’re the kind of mechanic I got my primary education of gearheading from so needless to say I like the way you work and educate, thanks for the video!

[@carquestions]

Anytime Harmandeep - Cheers from Canada!

[@indiosse]

thank god for someone who shows how to unscrew each bolt and where they are unlike other videos that show you everything removed and say 'just do what i did its easy'

[@Muskratt5150]

Thank you very much for making this video. It was VERY educational, informative and easy to follow. I also really like how you let the viewer know that it is a bit frustrating and if you can't handle it, get it done.

[@dosquest]

BMW is NOTORIOUS for making simple things way more complicated than it should. They sure work hard to hold that kind of title

[@brentcameron9263]

+dosquest Haha, That's for sure. Changing the battery ranks right up there too.

[@Noobie250r]

Definetly...I never seen other cars needing so much to change a headlight bulb...usually pop the hood pop out old pop in new

[@h3nr1m]

fords are way more complicated. u have to dismantle whole fornt light.

[@scotthoaglund1844]

Technically, I'm supposed to pull the entire front fender to replace the parking light on my Caddy Escalade. Ridiculous!

[@neelz6723]

Nah mate they make things more easier for the mechanic

[@kungamusic]

That comment about "less bolts because an improper previous repair" ! 100% correct for me Sir ! half of them were missing.

[@carquestions]

Very common - sloppy mechanics figure you'll never know they damaged your car

[@kungamusic]

exactly. thanks

[@kevinthompson3099]

As those of us who work on our own cars know, the details of BMW's can vary depending upon the year/model and the type of headlights, Halogen vs. Xenon. My US spec 2010 328 sedan has halogens and the process is identical to the video except, the bulb is very different which affects the installation of the bulb. There is a funky cage around the front of the bulb. This snaps around the ends of the plastic rings to provide the light. But when you remove and install, it doesn't just pull out, and can't be just pushed straight back in. To remove, you need to remove the right screw and then the left, pivot the unit counter clockwise slightly then remove by pulling back. To reinstall (this was a pain) you need to position it, insert the left screw almost all the way, then pivot the bulb clockwise, then tighten the right screw. Hope this helps anyone who has a similar bulb. Problem is there are so many variants it's hard for any one process to apply to all.

[@juanjoseosoriomartinez5400]

YES...it has a little lent in front the bulb...You need retire the lend and put the new one..

[@carquestions]

Sorry for the late reply Kevin - no surprise BMW and most others sub parts on the fly sometime - good info for people to know - thanks and Cheers from Canada!

[@walkeone13]

I’ve searched my owner’s manual from cover to cover trying figure out which bulb to purchase and how to change my daytime running light that’s out. Of course I couldn’t find anything about the bulb in the owner’s manual and decided to look on good old you tube. I knew that this was more than I wanted to deal with myself when I saw all the tools needed for the job. Thanks for doing this video, it was really informative.

[@carquestions]

No problem - glad to help

[@davidparkin3953]

you don't need to take the splash guard out the bulb is accessible from the access panel. it is a bit fiddly but perfectly doable and takes less time.

[@chelseaaschmidt5678]

what do you mean access panel?

[@motormans2]

chelseaa schmidt inthe innerfender there is a hole for purpose like this

[@lard1892]

Depends on the model

[@markthomas7263]

Thank you for posting this video. Those of us who aren't necessarily mechanically inclined find that necessity demands we attempt the "relatively" simple repair jobs should be at least considered done by us before bowing down to the paymasters at the dealerships and unsavory repair shops.

[@carquestions]

anytime

[@shahinportohfeh1446]

I don’t understand 509 dislike must be bmw garage 😂 the guy put his time Video this to our benefit .. I thanking you man for this .👌🏻👍🏻

[@markt9438]

dude he did Not specify what model !

[@Nisar2878]

509 must be bmw garage employees 😆😆😆

[@herobo123456]

Ya not all BMW are like this E60 62 E90 ect ect totally different u belllend

[@EliGaffke]

Maybe they didn't like the lack of camera focus at times

[@pawelwityk1963]

yeah i removed the wheel and wheel well covers all from my car just to find out that the bulb isnt even there!!! Turns out its acually accessible from under the hood! jist need a flathead screwdriver to pop off the headlight covers and you have full access to the day time running lights (angel eyes). DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GOOF!

[@fredianacci8283]

$200 at BMW huh? Good luck with that one! Our BMW dealer service gave us the $375 answer to the replace the halo bulb problem. Thus I just watched your video and I’ll save almost $300 USD and do it myself! Thank you Canadian friend.

[@carquestions]

Anytime Fred - good to hear - keep fixin - Cheers from Canada!

[@Naeemnr9]

Thanks for this great video and demonstration. This is for cars with standard halogen lights fitted. For those that have factory fitted xenon lights you can change the angel eyes from under the hood. I have BMW X5 E70 with halogen lights and can't change angel eye bulb from under the hood.

[@Mgalan73]

Well - I just want to say Thanks a million, i have watched your video multiple times before pulling the trigger and buying the $45+Dls bulb and installing it my self. The dealer would charge $164 for labor only. So I saved that cash thanks to you.... A pain in the rear for sure. Mine was the right side, which the panel that covers the wheel has a sensor of sort. This is on a 2008 - 335i. Remove the cable to the sensor to remove the cover completely and i had access to the area where the little black housing for the bulb resides. Thank you again for taking the time to create this video.

[@carquestions]

Thanks for the comment and info Miguel - much appreciated

[@grafitti27trane]

Hi, can I ask where you got the bulbs from? what website or what link?

[@timgriffin385]

if you only require to do the passenger side i.e Air filter position you can remove the Air filter housing and access is easy enough

[@theuniversechannel23]

Great video - very clear. I started looking at doing it on my 2006 325i - opened the wheel well access panel and confirmed that was a non-starter, thought about getting it jacked up (this car doesn't even come with a jack since it has run-flats) and the whole wheel well cover removal, then tried to access it from the top by removing the air filter. That almost worked; not quite enough room to get the top clip disengaged or for the torx wrench. At that point I resigned myself to the $200 and I put everything back together... and... voila!!! The halo light came back. Moral of the story - just fiddle with the wires and the bulb case first. I'd rather be lucky than good anytime.

[@seanshafer2253]

Nicely done ...love the attention to details and the heads up! My angel light just went out.

[@carquestions]

Glad it helped Sean - Cheers from Canada!

[@loadsfilthier8529]

Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed 'how to'.

[@carquestions]

Anytime

[@darrylecook]

Your hair color, thickness, and detail is well documented now.

[@carquestions]

Thanks for noticing

[@jafxdwg]

Thanks for the tutorial. I needed a turn signal bulb for my E85 Z4 and was shocked that BMW wanted over $40 for the part. You mentioned that removing the wheel was a recommendation. Something from my darker side says that would be an entertaining You Tube to see the repair with wheel in place !!!

[@carquestions]

Harder to see for sure

[@ktrout17i70]

Thanks for the video very nice. If you're the kind of person that gets frustrated though, get frustrated and save yourself 200 dollars and don't the risk of a BMW dealership garage denting your car in their workshop and listening to them deny that a fresh dent was there before they did any work. BMW dealerships have damaged my car on two occasions, so if you have to take your car to a BMW dealership I strongly advise that you get the garage manager to check car for any damage, BEFORE they do any work. Predominately this is the ideal job for an apprentice mechanic, who could not give a shit about your nice car.

[@carquestions]

Its a fact - 50% of the time you take the car in - they don't fix the problem, or overcharge or damage it - the other 50% they get it fixed - so in my opinion you risk little even if you do screw it up

[@ktrout17i70]

That sounds about right, it's definitely taking a huge chance to trust them to actually do the job without getting screwed over in some way. Thanks again for the video it was a big advantage to avoid that.

[@brokenSnake]

If you're the kind of person that he's frustrated - don't buy a bmw

[@jamesloughin4752]

Thanks a lot! Instructions were perfect. Easy job. Only it was 110 and humid in the garage and the car was still hot from driving. Other than the sweat, piece of cake. You're right. Just less than an hour, all in.

[@carquestions]

The halo rings are the DRL's in Canada - they are one in the same

[@tspark1071]

One of the best diy clips for replacing bulbs

[@carquestions]

Sorry for the very late reply TS - Cheers from Canada!

[@CaliRepublic77]

I’m confused. Couldn’t you have removed the headlight from the hood and replaced the bulb? That’s how some videos show at least for the 5 series BMW. Is this different?

[@carquestions]

Some 5 series are different and can't be done from the top

[@NoOne-fe8qt]

In my E90 3 series too, drivers side is not accessible from the hood. Passenger side is.

[@murhino]

Awesome, thanks for the great video! My windshield washer pump on my '06 E90 also went out (same side as the burned out angel eye), so this was a convenient fix for both! Just to confirm it was the pax side bulb that was burned out, I turned on my parking lights only to see the driver side had also burnt out...grrrr... Both bulbs lasted 9 yrs, 10 months and burned out within one month of each another. Oh well....ordering another bulb now! Thought about replacing w/ LED upgrades, but two bulbs are $90 compared to $160 for LED...and I'm juts fixing it to sell it anyway. Thanks again for the great instructions!

[@carquestions]

+murhino No problem - glad to be of service

[@outlawslaw1]

Very well done mine just went out and thought i had to take it in for sure. But now im just going to go buy the bulb thanks for saving me money and being without my car for a day or two.

[@carquestions]

No problem - glad to help

[@stephencannon3140]

I did notice some of the insulation on the connector is worn so I might wind up having to splice in a new piece of wire. Even if I have it pull the inner fender liner that is still way better than removing the entire headlamp assembly which I suspect will require removal of the front bumper cap. Thanks for the help hopefully the US models are similar to yours.

[@carquestions]

Anytime Stephen - cheers!

[@truckable8595]

I have a 2006 325i that has the exactly same problem. This video is pretty helpful thanks man!

[@carquestions]

No problem Gospy

[@michaelloeb4512]

Have to love BMW. One hour job to change a lightbulb. I had to replace the pump on the window washer fluid reservoir. Pretty much the same type of job, instead of going forward for the lights you back for the reservoir on the passenger side. Buried inside the fender. Not being a pro-mechanic and moving slowly as not to break anything it was a 2 hour job to replace a 5 dollar part. I think BMW designers do most of their work at Octoberfest. Still can't wrap my head around a $75 lightbulb though. Aftermarket here I come.

[@carquestions]

Good advice and funny - keep fixing though - it will save time in the long run - not having to go back a second time

[@stephencannon3140]

I did the windshield washer pump on my 2010 Audi A6... pump is at base of fender behind the drivers front wheel. If you take the tire and splash shield should take about 10-15 minutes. Actually fairly simple logic. Pump it at about the lowest point of pump below the low level sensor. Pump had crack in the housing $20 US at FCP Europarts. Don’t try to fight the wheel you will lose. Take wheel off and make it a quick job.

[@zeugnimod1]

Great video. One thing I have noticed as am driving my 2006 bwm 330 at night, the left head light blinks sometimes. Do you know why this is happening?

[@stephencannon3140]

I have this issue. The weird part is the bulb seems to work. It doesn’t work when initial power on hit works when headlights are full on. Just for troubleshooting I swapped the Halogen H8 bulb from right to left. Message came up for the Left Daytime Running Lamp/Parking lamp fail. I believe Isolated the bulb and hopefully can just be replaced behind the headlamp assembly frame. When out on errands tomorrow I will get the Bulb assembly and see how it goes. If that doesn’t work then I will go to this step and pull tire.

[@jeanclaude521]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Good old cars were better..they were easier to service

[@jeanclaude521]

I replaced it ! ;-)

[@BaerBaerBaer100]

Great tutorial. Just did it, worked out great. Even found plenty of messed up details by the previous mechanic. Thanks.

[@carquestions]

Glad to be of service

[@mccannfamily...7652]

Dude... Although I've not changed an Angel light yet (have replaced main headlight.) I found your video to be great! Right to the point; great presentation. One comment: Next time please add the part number(s)... I can purchase these parts from many sources in the US (ECS Tuning; Bavarian Auto-Parts... to name a few) Thanks so much! I have a 2008 335i Coupe. I have done all the work myself including an elect water pump / thermostat replacement as well as expansion tank, Spark plugs and coil(s) replacement. I was also able to replace the crankshaft position sensor for USD $60 (Dealer wanted USD $1850+++) and most of my day (driveway job; did it from the bottom; all KZbin showed was from the top... I saved 5 hours at least and never broke a plastic intake part. Anyway... thanks for the straightforward video... Aloha... PS: My wife had a momentary (5~10 seconds) cockpit / dash waring light that seems to relate to an exterior light in-op (most people lean towards the tail light. All our exterior lights work. She ran over a bump just prior. Could that jolt make a light blink on and off? Should I address it... Just asking... Thanks again... Gene

[@carquestions]

Replace the license plate lights - they can intermittently open and close because of a weak filament

[@bettykent426]

Wow very impressive. Mine is out and Shop tried to tell me whole bumper had to come off to change it and wanted to charge me over $600. For labor plus replace the whole complete light assembly. So glad I said I'll wait and sée it's on driver side sure watching this I can handle it. Sure appreciate it. Have 328xi 2008 made in Germany not US. Hopefully be same as what you just experienced. Thank you ! I'm definitely watching you 😁

[@ronmac1832]

Thanks! This saves me hours of trying to solve the puzzle on my own. Now I just need to accept the fact the bulb is ridiculously expensive.

[@Kill3rInstinct99]

real question is, how do you get 28mpg! Thats amazing!!

[@rowdyronboyz8124]

Diesel

[@kristianTV1974]

I get 45mpg out of my 2007 325d.

[@beamerboy640]

I’m at 14.8 and gas is current 4.89 for 91 😭

[@mikewilliams4947]

You get it by being heavy on the throttle 😂

[@humboldtsbest2265]

I get 34mpg on my 330i?

[@stevewu8100]

good illustration. I changed it for $10 for each light bulb. Here is the trick. ..... brake from the end as you were thinking just to replace the inner bulb, not with the housing (that is why they charge you so much ). I went to couple of auto stores and found one(NAPA) selling it (not all of them do ). I actually bought 20w instead 10W, the original. It is brighter and nicer. Once you put the bulb in, just use super glue to touch around the egde. It was like new. Then put every thing back. I relaced both for $20. Otherwise they will not be even brightness, left and right sides (one light bulb for both angel lights on each side ). In the future, if these light bulbs goes out, change them both for $50. Someone did it, nice led. Look for GENSSI Elite Halo Angel Eyes Bulbs For BMW Headlights on Amazon.

[@dekepgreen]

Great video. However, it was much easier for me to remove the light assembly....four screws and out. 2009 5 series.

[@carquestions]

Yes agreed - this only applies to certain models mentioned in the video where that is not possible

[@Mark-ss1ke]

The light cover bottom is also clipped. Didn't really have to force it but the video is excellent irregardless.

Thanks - I was thinking of attempting this myself - now I know I should take it to the garage instead :)

[@carquestions]

It's an exercise in frustration for sure and as a mechanic I've seen some people damage their own car trying to fix it -

[@jorge14cin]

Does this fix both set of drl on one side or is there a separate bulb for each one?

[@relg6982]

I'm trying to figure out the same thing

[@SZeitz-uy1uq]

One bulb for the set drl.

[@sanozi]

I did changed my E66 halo light, I just unbolt 4 bolts holding the headlight assembly and pulled it a little bit forward, then just changed the bulb. about 15min jop

[@b00st3d92]

Would rather just do the upgrade for LED or CCFL Halo rings like the LCI 1 and 3 series cars.

[@codegreen5213]

On my E92 2007 I did this on both headlights from above in the engine bay? There's a little plastic cover you can remove on the top of the headlights. Once you remove this you need either small hands or good dexterity but it's not that difficult. Much less effort than taking wheels and arch liners out...

[@carquestions]

Can't be done that way on 06 Canadian model - wish I could

[@darren9819]

6:44 nice hair!

[@vasanth23]

Perfect video. We are always grateful for people like you who make useful perfect videos to help out others !

[@ChristianSirT]

Excuse me , you said $200 job for a bulb change ?? That much cost an engine swap in Uk . Lol

[@carquestions]

That's right - BMW dealers charge a few pounds over here to fix things

[@mont844]

Cristian Tudoricu I just got my one done at a mechanics it's was $200.58 labour and $15 for the light. I had no idea it was going to be that much otherwise I would had gone through with it. And now I am coming across this video 😩😫

[@mont844]

I'm also from New Zealand

[@aaronsu8763]

Bmw is so poorly design...my w204 c300 is way easier to replace something like this...

[@mrzkhan1]

They design it like that so people go back to the main dealer to spend their money on having BMW doing it for them.

[@carquestions]

exactly right

[@kaandogan9560]

The car was engineered around German common sense. Which is obviously different from the rest of the world.. douchebags. - I still love my e90 though

[@sofuknossum1]

If you're lazy or just don't have a jack this can be done without removing the wheel. I didn't feel like wasting time dealing with it and it wasn't that difficult. Just turn your tire inward or outward depending on what you need to access. Only part that may be trouble is removing the casing that encloses the bulb and the right torx screw. Also you can get the bulb (part number 63117161444) for like $35 online. Works just as well and doesn't produce an error code in the computer system.

[@carquestions]

Thanks for the info

[@kmlumd44]

you didn't even show finished product goofball

[@outlawslaw1]

yes he did.

[@231mac]

*SPOILER ALERT* the light comes on... feel better???

[@willford455]

lmaooo

[@montreepoteet4978]

Yes he did

[@nathanmullin2680]

few things to point out. depending on the year and what frm (module that controls the lights) sometimes the angel eyes are not the dlr and the inside bulb closest to the grills will be the drl. the bulb you changed is the angel eyes bulb and there is one on each side of the car. also if you are going to spend 70 some bucks on a bulb you may as well go buy the led upgrade bulb at any car light store for 99 bucks and then you will have the nice white angel eyes instead of the yellow.

[@Hawksalas78]

Nice video, my driver side just went out. I decided to upgrade to the 6000k white Led bulbs for rather than go back to the yellow halogen. Picked up a set for $32

[@brendan5698]

What's the website you picked the set up from?

[@sravinet100]

Great video! Thank you! By the way, at 4:50 you mention a "push pin" an wonder why they used that. The reason is very simple: you don't need to remove that one!

[@carquestions]

+Sebastian Ravinet After checking this again it appears this is to speed installation at the factory - you can clearly see a mating hole for the push pin so durring assembly at the factory this pin goes in first to hold it up while they install screws possibly at the next station down the line

[@sravinet100]

***** That seems like a very reasonably explanation. Nonetheless, you don't need to remove it. I'm not sure, but I don't think you need to the screws on either side of it either.

[@efthimios]

Awesome video and I loved your fatherly advice on if having patience vs not lol.. Cheers +

[@carquestions]

+Herakles After teaching for 28 years it comes naturally

[@waggs6585]

Awesome DIY, thanks so much. I'll be doing this job on my 330i this week.

[@carquestions]

Jason - check your manual to see if it mentions changing this particular light yours might be different - some can be changed from the top under the hood - if the manual doesn't mention and you can't get at it from above then go ahead its probably the same as in the video

[@waggs6585]

Thanks for the advice. My model is nearly identical to the one in the video, same color too. Your DIY is going to be very helpful and save me a lot of headache trying to figure this job out. Just waiting for the part to come in, should be here any day.

[@h3nr1m]

yes its a lot easier to change when u have access from the side of the tire but those who have small hands can do it from under the hood.

[@carquestions]

Not on this particular model - others yes - not all BMW are the same

[@h3nr1m]

oh ok. i thought it was E90.

[@svidorashka]

Thank you for the great video! What about the passenger side? Embarrassed to admit, but today I tried to follow your instructions and found out that the passenger light looks completely different.. Can you, please, give some advice? Thank you in advance!

[@carquestions]

If your vehicle isn't a Canadian model then you could be looking at a different light for sure - if it is Canadian then you made a mistake somehow

[@svidorashka]

Thank you very much for your reply. Mine is a US model...

[@alaaarslan8717]

So i have a bmw 530i e60 2006, my front lights are kinda dirty,i heard that they can be cleaned but it's harder than i thought, since your channel is all about cars and replacing and installing car parts, do you mind uploading a video of how to remove the front lights? the whole front light, so that it could be possible for me to clean the inside of it. Btw your Channel is one great channel for a beginner like me, keep it up👌👍

I replace halo light using your directions, a snap. Got it done in 45 minutes so very happy with. Before I watched your video I attempted to change it to no avail. I mistakenly took the alignment control, which I initially thought it was the light, I put it back but car computer tells me right light is not running the alignment cycle. Any advice on how to re-install this? thank yiou

Is this the procedure on a 2009 bmw 3 series 328i hard top convertible?

[@carquestions]

Might not be - check your manual - if it says how to change it then follow that - if it doesn't mention it or says go to the dealer then this procedure might work

On a 2008 BMW 550i with Xenon and Adaptive headlight, the daytime running light is burned but the assembly where it attached to and the interior ring came off as well. How do you replace the assembly since it is burned! Appreciate your feedback to solve the problem.

[@carquestions]

It was burned by someone incorrectly installing the bulb - whole light assembly needs replacement in most cases

glad to help

Thank you so much for the video,it was very detailed and helpful.I was able to change the bulb without any issues.

The manual for the US version (they are parking lights here) says pop off the large cover and reach in and pull the bulb out. I believe the manual is in error, the 06 is an early car, built 8/05

Only way to know for sure is to check under the hood for the access panel - if it has one then you can do it from under the hood

I am looking to upgrading my headlights and was wondering about what to replace on the halo lights when they go out. Thanks

[@rudybeteta7250]

That's your recommendation...I guess I wasn't specific enough. I was referring to model, type and make? Thanks..

[@carquestions]

After you look at all the model features types and makes - get the one with the best warranty - thats as specific as I'm going to get

[@fridtjofschussler6434]

thanks... Helps a lot... but also a little frustration... in my BMW E46 it took 5 min. to change this bulb :-(

[@bryan423179]

good job, I went to BMW , they actually don't care about doing that for me. Cuz all I ask is to replace the halo bulbs.

[@michaelshuler3349]

My daytime running light on my 08 335xi is a H7. As far as my halos go, I'd like to possibly change to a light blue color.

[@carquestions]

Sounds good Mike if you can find a supplier online

[@lewiscarr1178]
