I would think it is absolutely possible, and would be a similar process. Now that said, there is a lot of argument on if it is a good idea. LED or HID bulbs into halogen or other light assemblies often don't work out very well. Light pattern and design is different than the assembly itself, and you get blown out headlight patterns. You can often see this coming at you down the road.. oncoming car headlights are not focused at all, just BLAZING kelvins of light color, but like you are looking into the sun. Can it be done? Sure.. should it be done? That is another question imho.
Greetings! I have a basic question ( please don't laugh 😂) What are the names of the little bulbs that are located within the lighting unit? Some one told me that they are called "peanut bulbs"?
Is it the same H7 bulb with metal backing for high and low beams ? Be cause I got a H7 bulb with a different plastic backing I’m about to attempt to change my HI and Low beams just want to make sure it’s the same metal backing on both bulbs
I changed the low beans, Parking lights and daytime lights in my x3 2017. And now all of those 3 has the malfunction check lights on. How can I clear the malfunction message?
Thanks for making thorough videos. Details are important.
Glad to help!
Great Video. Can you post one if it's possible to replace the Halogen bulbs on the E83 w/LED bulbs? Thanx.

Couple of questions.. did you put in a different type of bulbs like LEDs? If so, you need to code that into the car with an app like Bimmercode.
Is this the same on the 2006?
Should be the same on all similar models, so you are good to go!
