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 👍
Thank you for this! I was trying to change my low beam light bulbs earlier and was confused which bulbs were which. I'm a new Bmw owner so still learning about them😂
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
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.
Question i use a tester because my bulb does not turn on and its good i bought another one that its how i know that the one i have its good my question is when i use a tester show that i have power on the base of that bulb but the bulb does not work sti'll
Thank you for making this video. I watched a few before I found yours. It was the best one , and I was able to change my light bulb myself after watching it. Thank you !
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
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?
Why are there so many e90 version of this stupid car !? I have yet to find the exact one for my car . My angle light bulb looks nothing like that. It’s a 07 335i sedan with Mpackage

Wow- finally a video on how to change that H7- thanks!

Cool, happy it helped you out 😉 !
I have same problem. Some times on some times off....
Now I have to Change? ??? Give me Answers please. Thanks

Very clear explanation and great camera angles. I’ll change mine out in the morning. Thank you!
You should be specific on the model year. This looks the same as my ‘06 E90. The H7 are daytime running lights.
Well done video. Helped me out!
is this for E90 LCI or Pre-LCI?? I assume Xenon cars not Halogen?
@@mikedodd9294 For Pre LCI ( VFL)

My pleasure ! On my 330i, I reallly don't see how to do this from above but good ou you if you managed ;¬) !
@@fab-b9818 330i is are pre LCI so they have a different way to change bulbs
Thank you! Replacing this bulb was driving me mad!
Can you then take out the whole headlight unit by just removing the wheel liner?
Sorry for ma late reply but non, you have to remove the whole bumper 😤
What does the h7 control? Amazon says it is los/high beam but that’s my xenon lights…..? The angel eyes is h8
Very clear video, will save you few bucks by changing it yourself. Thanks 😎
So which bulbs are the park lights
E90 ‘06 -‘08 use same hid adaptive xenon headlamp. Just adaptive xenon hid model , non regular model with H7 hi / low headlamp light bulb.
Question i use a tester because my bulb does not turn on and its good i bought another one that its how i know that the one i have its good my question is when i use a tester show that i have power on the base of that bulb but the bulb does not work sti'll
I have the parking light warming, which bulb is that?
I have been looking for that other bulb, not the xenon for days. Thank you.
Alright, glad I could help !
ok bmws have two lights up front, the one on the inside and the one on the outside. Which bulb do i need for the outside light? Not the turn signal
On my model it's the xenon light (D1S). If you don't havr xenon lights probably a H7 like the inner light.
@@fab-b9818 Yeah i replaced them already, they where H7 bulbs
Amazing video I had no idea which lights where which. Thank you
Thanks for this useful infos dude!
Should the H7 be on the socket on the mainlight? Or it can light up as it selv? :)
Thank you for making this video. I watched a few before I found yours. It was the best one , and I was able to change my light bulb myself after watching it. Thank you !
You're welcome. Glad you found my explanations clear enough ;¬).
Great Video man. Any bmw e90 projects?
Thanks ! I have done a lot of videos on my french channel th-cam.com/play/PL5rSil1Dj0aA7ilYrlZfTkpoB5z7dRRYe.html
Are these considered low and high beam light?
Yes, the Xenon Light is always on, and the H7 only in full beam or flashing.
Year of the car?
Are those Osram bulbs? Notice any improvement over the OEM Phillips?
They were the originals on my car so I can't compare to Philips...
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
Thanks ! The light change should fix your problem. The silver piece, dont't know how it's connected (plugged or welded ?).
The silver piece is the ballast. You may have to change your "halo eye" bulb
Very useful thanks for the help
Do you unplug the battery first?
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).
great video I was looking for this for days thanks!
Thanks, glad I can help ;¬)
When I push the black tab up and pull only the black tab comes out. The light bulb stays in
It can be a pain, I had the issue recently... I guess sometimes it gets stuck.
Same thing happen to me what did you end up do to get it out
@@wannanowjay i took it to a mechanic haha. you have to take the whole bumper off which i didnt want to do
My dad got it out some how so I got lucky💀😂
EZ Money same happens to me
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.

Damned if i can work out how to get to the sidelight bulbs though. Anyone?
Indeed, no need to take the wheel off. It is much easier to film everything without the wheel though !
Have you seen this video for the side lights ?
what about the halo light bulb ?
I take out the H7 halogen light at 4:25
Why are there so many e90 version of this stupid car !? I have yet to find the exact one for my car . My angle light bulb looks nothing like that. It’s a 07 335i sedan with Mpackage
As soon as possible. I from Italy
A lot of vids on u tube, not sure why they take wheel off, but seems like only to make job easier
damn !! You really need to take off the back of the fender ? is a little complicated my friend..
Yep, just did it again as I had to install new Xenon bulbs. But this time I managed without taking of the wheel.
What is a bonnet? 🤔🤣
hood 😝
@@fab-b9818 lol 😆I figured
Thanx a lot 😊
You're welcome ;¬).
Just take the airfilterbox out…way easier
He sounds so sad about the headlight bulb
What’s the headlight next to the xenon light
H7 light, used with Xenon fulm beams and when flashing
