A big thank you for the tip, with the right pliers you can even remove the bulb and put the new one back on without making a hole 👌
Most useful video I’ve seen on CZcams for a long time. Thanks for the hack. £1 instead of £42 from BMW.
You can actually get the bulb out without the hack,. its just take a bit of wiggling...
Wow, saved me a small fortune, bulb cost me £10 from "Fast-Parts" in the UK, BMW wanted £100 + fitted & Euro car parts wanted £60.99p just for the part, great informative easy to follow Vid. Couldn`t get the old bulb out until i used a 2mm drill then it just popped out, new one in & away you go... worked a treat with no Error showing on dash, many thanks.
Just want to say a massive thanks for this video. Change my bulb today. Worked a treat. Tha ks once again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Wow this was awesome!! Quoted $360 to replace at BMW garage, bought an $11 globe and fitted it myself. I cheated and took my wheel and wheel arch cover off for easier access but used your video as as guide for the rest...
Thanks buddy! great video!
He's doing this wrong, you do not need to drill any holes, go to 4:16 in the video and pause, at the rear of the bulb housing where his thumb is there are 2 grey tabs that are heat melted to the chrome housing holding the bayonette bulbs socket into the housing. sand these down or cut away until you can pull out the bayonette socket then you can remove and replace the bulb. Once refitted use some hot glue or electrical tape wrapped tightly around this area to reattatch the bayonette socket back into the housing.
but hot glue could melt down, because bulb housing get quiet hot?
Any video on this?
I didn’t drill anything. Just be patient and wriggle the bulb, it will come out. If it doesn’t, instead of drilling why not use a file just to make a tiny slit so the pin pops out
Agreed I've used this method twice (buy good quality replacement bulbs), I re-melted the grey tabs with a hot screwdriver. I also needed to remove the 2 bolts on the air filter housing so I could move it out the way a bit - driver side E91 Touring. Still a great video though - THANKS.
Thank you for this video, really straightforward. In fact i managed to jemmy the old bulb out and the new bulb into the housing by gently prising with a jeweller's flat screwdriver
6:34 .. this explains why your LHS halo is so bright ! ... mine are also currently 2 different watts ... will be going LED on them
Big help thank you, although my bulb just kinda wiggled out of the unit but nice anyhow.
Thank you for posting this, I went via the wheel arch to get to mine for more space, the only drama was the lucas bulb wasn't as rounded on the lip so it was hard to twist on the lugs , I had to use a rubber glove and long nose grips to get a good grip to turn the bulb. Great video and definitely a money saver. Thanks again. Top man
Thank you so much, bulbs only cost £5.99 (lumro angel eye bulbs) from eBay, you saved me over £100 for the pair. Much appreciated thank you.
Thanks for the help! You give very clear instructions and guidance
genius move on the small bit hole to get the terminal bump through.
Great video mate 👍 I found I had to remove their box because my fat fingers couldn’t get in there 🤣
Done with mine all the way from southern Africa
Working perfectly fine
Nice one, £7.50 in my local factors and 30 minute job. You are a star.
You should just get some Lux LED bulbs. The Lux bulbs just screw right in eliminating the need for that gray bracket and upgrades the halos to LED's. My question is are your halos your daytime running lights as opposed to the high beams and if so how did you get them that way?
En la bombilla pone 10w, porque dices que 20w?
Thank you so much! I did exactly what you showed on this video. Bought the bulb from amazon $ 7.00 dollars. Excellent video!!!!!!!!Best wishes buddy from California 🇺🇸
Thanks I just finished doing mine now
Working perfectly
All the way from south Africa
Excellent, detailed video, thank you so much!
One like becoz it worked for me though i didnt had to drill it and it came out by twisting the bulb.
I thank for that knowledge I literally do exactly what you do an it works
I put in a H6w. Just grinded of one of the bumps. Works fine
Good job, I took the air box out to get more room!
I did the same and used a flexi bit holder. Also changed for LED
Mal99ify hello, can you tell me the name of the led bulb so i could buy it?
Charbel abou sejaan
hello, I used H6W/BA9S Bayonet bulb. What country are you from? If you need I can send you a link to a good UK site where they sell good quality bulbs.
Charbel abou sejaan some people use a drill to get the bulb out of the unit but you can actually wiggle the bulb out, just need to be patient
Mal99ify i’m from lebanon, i will try to buy it by AliExpress and if send ne the link so i can compare, thank you in advance
Great video, thank you so much! AL the best from Romania!
Cool video, easy to follow but can you tell me what I'd need to do to make the halos white ?
Cheers
Where can I get the bulb can’t find it in my local auto part store
Did exactly the same for my e90 and worked perfectly except the part that the error code that one of the lights aren't working is still there? How can I make the error dissappear? Thanks
You have to code it out if you bought led
Flexi bit holder
Can you do a video on how to replace the angel bulb in the driver side? I have a 2009 E90 328i xdrive and it seems the airbox is in the way. Is there a way to get to the angel bulbs from removing the fender liners?
I’ve just done this and undid the air box, separate in two and that should give u enough room to get to the bulb
If i put 12V 20W is there some errors on board ?
Best video, big like!!
Can be switched with a different color ?
Is your car pre LCI?
Any problem with that bulb. ?
da best.
Same on nonlci? (Nfl)
is it same for 2011 bmw 323i(halogen low beams)
Yes
Where can I buy the whole kid as the halo ring?
What do you mean by whole kit? Do you mean the actual lighting unit?
Mal99ify yes. Cause mine are burnt!
Change for canbus LED rather than halogen
Yeah? Give me a link for a Canbus led with 10w that fits in there! PLEASE!
@@micaelpinto8224 what country are you from?
@@micaelpinto8224 in this video the guy says to drill the reflector but instead just wriggle the bulb and it will pop out
@@Mal_999A I know, thats what I did! The thing is I can't find any led lights with enough power with a BA9S socket!
Thanks by the way 💪
@@micaelpinto8224 it’s a UK site
Once you started drilling holes you lost my sub. Totally unnecessary
