Healight lamp change (ebay unit)

BionicYeti · 06-28-2016, 12:51 PM

Has anybody had to change a lamp in one of these units (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-seri...UAAOSwPe1UEY1M) Not sure if mine are these but are very similar.

From the little I can see it looks near enough impossible to change the lamps without taking the whole unit out unless I am missing something (really hope I am)? I cant seem to locate anything to push or pull to remove the lamps only screws which wont be accessible without removal

Seriously considering going back to the old ones if an "easy" way cant be found as don't fancy finding myself at the side of the road unable to change a lamp lol.

ps.
really hope im being stupid and cant see the obvious due to lack of sleep

Headlamps are sealed units. You can change individual bulbs through the hatch in the wheel arch.

To change the actual headlamps it's a bumper off job.

No major dramas, plenty of guides in the DIY section. Helpful to have an extra pair of hands when you do it though...
