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.
almost 55 year old woman here - just changed my headlamp bulb for first time in my life. Thank you for the clear instructions. 😎
A rarely comment on videos, but this was a truly good and helpful one. Kudos to you my friend.
Thank-you so much for this video - just swapped the burnt out light in under 5 minutes! Bravo to you and to the Mini for having that little viewing window. ⭐️🚙
Superb video. This is what youtube is all about. Excellent, thanks again
Thanks dude! Just fixed both sides in 10 Min and saved 40€ and time! Thanks
Thank you! One of the simplest DIY jobs I've ever done. N o grazed knuckles. Hats off to BMW for putting that viewing window in too!
It's such a handy feature! Much easier to replace the bulbs on this car than on my old Astra H.
This video was so helpful and straight forward and made it super easy for me to change my headlight and saved me some money thank you!
Glad I could help!
Thank you, so clear. Easy done
Thanks so much. Had done it before but had forgotten and now had to do it in the dark.
Man all I want to say is Thanks a million!!!!!!! I needed to change these bulbs and with your help it went so quickly and I saved money .Thanks
You’re welcome! Glad I could help 😄
If it weren't for your video, I don't know if I'd ever figured out the existence of that backing/brace pin. Too tight to feel and see. Thank you.
Thank you! Really helpful video. Purchased the recommended bulbs and they are huge improvement
Thank you just changed my lightbulb by myself ☺️
Thanks, this video just helped me :)
Very useful video! Thank you for explaining this visually
Glad it was helpful! 😄
Thanks for the video. Most helpful. Only issue that I ran into was the plastic clips for the wiring crumbled when removing the wiring.
Funnily enough I had a similar problem when trying to replace the fog light bulb.
Nicely explain fella you save me about eight quid the rest I can do myself now. Cheers
Really helpful, thank you for sharing 😊
Super helpful thank you❤
very good!! thanks bro 🙏
I'm korean MINI owner.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Very clear to see. Can you do a DRL one for the foglight too!
Thanks 🎉
Great! Really thank you
You are welcome! 😄
Cheers bud very helpful
Thank you
very good video!!!!!!
Thank you... I've just got myself a Mini Cooper SD with Halogens and wanted to upgrade. Looks simple enough, if you have small hands!!
Can you do a DRL one?
I'm glad you like the video! I can indeed do a DRL one - I actually started filming a DRL one but it turned out I had bought the wrong bulb for it >_
@@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.
can you do one that shows how to change the lights on the bottom? the foglight i think it's called
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.
I did it on my 08 mini and you’re right it is a bit of a pain in the butt, i wanted to know if the process is the same on the newer models. Aw you don’t have a Mimi anymore =(
To be honest I do regret trading in the Mini, I’d love to have another one some day
@@Jackster I figured out how to change, it's a lot simpler than i expected! Maybe I should make a video haha!
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
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.
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
Any way you could type out the name of the build here. Having trouble finding it. Might be typing it in wrong
What about the back ones?
Nice video,
I did the bulb change myself but the black thing closing the headlight fell into my engine bay
Any idea on what i do now?
Can i order a new one online?
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.
@@Jackster Well i can only just see it through a gap that too small for the cap to fit through.
Im going to try to remove the front bumper entirely and hope i dont make anything worse :)
Is there anywhere to change to led ?
Is it same principle with indicator bulb as ive got LED headlamps with Chilli pack version.
I'm afraid I don't know, and I don't have this car anymore to check ☹️
Hi, I have a F56 and I would like to know how to replace the turn signal light💡 from the side of the car

No coding required?
No coding required!
@@Jackster I’m so confused lol.. is it just the HIDs that need coding then?
@@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.
