    This is the headlight bulb I use in my MINI Cooper S. It gives a much brighter, whiter light than the bulbs supplied by MINI. If you use the link below to buy the bulb then it really helps me make these videos, and it doesn't cost you any more!

    Just a quick video demonstrating how to replace the halogen headlamp bulb on an F56 MINI. No tools are required, all you need is a new H4 bulb.

      @@Jackster I've seen someone mentioned elsewhere that H16 PSX24W bulbs fit but you have to trim some of the plastic away but I've not found a video walkthrough explaining how (and as such I don't want to mess around buying the wrong bulbs).

      Correct, I bought an H16 and it didn’t fit. I think I’ll just stick with the standard fitting from now on.

      Unfortunately I don't have the Mini anymore so I can't make a video about replacing the foglight 😫 I did try replacing the foglight bulbs once, though, and it was a pain - so much so that I think I'd probably take it to the dealer or an independent BMW/MINI place to do it for me.

    • @Datcake12
      @Datcake12 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi mate I am having mega issues trying to replace the DRL h8 bulb, it doesn't seem to come out, do u twist then pull like the h4 or is there a similar method? Thanks

    • @Jackster
      @Jackster  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey man, I tried to change the DRLs and really struggled too. I gave up when I accidentally broke the clips on one. It still seemed to fit in the housing securely, though, so I decided to just leave it alone at that point.

    • @austinchang337
      @austinchang337 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just changed it a weeks ago, just hold the clip at the side to detached the light and the power and then twist the tight off, basically there is a plastic to prevent the light came off, so you either break the part or detached it first

      I'd try and fish it out if you can. Otherwise, you can probably get it from any BMW/MIINI dealer's parts department - it might take a few days for it to arrive though.

      @@andrewgacayan4770 I think so. Replacing bulbs is something that's described in the manual - it's expecting that the owner can do this themselves. Replacing HIDs or LEDs is something they expect you to take it to the service centre for, so I expect that requires coding.
