  • In this video I'll show how to get access to your front lights.
    You will see where the H7 light bulb is abd how to replace it.
    You will see where the Xenon light bulb is and how to replace it.
    It's the same procedure for BMW E90, E91, E92, E93.

    Only guy that actually explained it, gave the names of the types of lights aswell, and even added in the description that’ll work for other e90 models 👍

    You should be specific on the model year. This looks the same as my ‘06 E90. The H7 are daytime running lights.

    Thanks. Very informative. I just replaced the H7. The manual says it can be done from up top and you remove the inner fender. I did it from up top and only had to remove the air filter box (2 minutes since I'm used to it from cleaning the air filter). The Xenon is also easily replaced but can be done by removing the small access panel on the inner fender.

    I was able to do it without taking the wheel off. Just turn the wheel all the way outward, yes outward, I know a lot of other videos say inward, but if you have this version of headlights where you have to take the whole panel off, you'll see why outward works better. I have an '07 328i

    Awesome video! I have condensation in my e92 2011 m3 and got the notification saying my low beam has malfunctioned - if I replace my xenon bulb and it still doesn't work - hopefully it does - that other square piece underneath is that silver piece - how do you replace that

    • @fab-b9818
      @fab-b9818  Před 7 lety

    • @TheLust4Music

      The silver piece is the ballast. You may have to change your "halo eye" bulb

      It's always better tu unplug the battery when touching electric parts (But I don't do it, make sure your lights are off though, if you do the same).

      Yes, the Xenon Light is always on, and the H7 only in full beam or flashing.

  • @alunmauve
    @alunmauve Před 5 lety

    You don't need to take the wheel off to get to the access panel in teh front wheel arches. Just turn the steering full lock to the left to get access to the left wheel arch, full lock to the right to access the right wheel arch. I just replaced both H7 dipped beam (non halo) in my E91 in about 5 minutes... no jacking required.
    Damned if i can work out how to get to the sidelight bulbs though. Anyone?

    • @fab-b9818
      @fab-b9818  Před 5 lety

      Indeed, no need to take the wheel off. It is much easier to film everything without the wheel though !
