- How to replace the low-beam bulb on a 2015, BMW 328 GT, F34. Bulb used, H7 halogen
There are a few tabs around the bulb that must be slightly bent. Here is a link to a description of that step and a pic that helped me. f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...
Note: My 7 year old son wanted to learn how videos were scripted, story boarded, shot and edited. While not a complete work of art, this video was a project we did together so he could learn the basics of video creation. We hope you will find it to be of some use. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thank you very much. First I tried at least for half an hour and failed. Then I came back home and saw your video. It took me 5 minutes afterwards.
Thanks for your tabs tip on the bulb. Everybody skipped that step and just said they got it back in. I was frustrated until I found your video. First bulb took me about 30 minutes because I couldn't get the bulb back in. 2nd bulb took 2 minutes or less. THANK YOU!!!!
Same
You’re welcome. Glad it helped!
Thanks for showing such a clear image of the tabs holding the bulb in. That's the trickiest part of this and it's really hard to get a good image from such a small place.
You're welcome!
Thank you for this. I changed my bulbs less then 5 minutes. In the Vegas heat at that.
Glad it helped. Ironically my other bulb just went out. It’s been a while since doing this and I now live on the Georgia heat. I hope I’m as successful as you.
I'm right handed and found turning the driver side wheel inward worked best for me. I had to do the entire job by feel. On the other side, I left the wheels where they were so now the passenger side wheel was facing outward and did the everything like before left handed now that I had some experience. Looking back on it, I think the outward for the passenger side did give me more space where I needed it doing everything left handed. Since I wasn't going to repeat the experiment on the right side, I called the job done and moved on. By the way, I used a quarter to pop the outer cover clasps which worked great as they fit perfectly to do this job and require minimum space. Any job I walk away from with no burns or cuts is a win and this was just a dirty job since you are in the wheel well with a tire that's in the way. I did both lights in about 15 minutes with most of the time spent on the first one.
This came is super handy! I happen to have the same exact car (not that it matters for the actual bulb replacement) but your tips and accurate description helped to nail the job!
Glad it helped, Edo. I actually just had to replace my other side too. Glad I had a video to follow.
I love the gt everydayyy
Thank you for the detailed steps. Found the details only in your video. Thank you
Brad, appreciate the tips / video! Had my light just go out & save me about $100.00
I just watched your video and was able to change these bulbs in my GT. Those pesky tabs were a bit of a struggle but I made it. thanks !!!
Glad it helped!
Your video helped me so much thank you I hope you have a Great day 💪🏾💯💯
Glad it helped! Enjoy your day.
Thank you for this video! me being a woman I was able to do this sooo quick and easy
Glad it helped!
sweet. never changed a daylight bulb before so this video was beyond helpful. thanks Brad!
Came back to this video 👌🏾
I can’t get the black wire harness off any tips?
how you get the black wire harness off? I pulled so hard but couldnt get a grip on it since I have large hands. Could barely get 3 fingers into the hole
Did you get it sorted out? I did my second bulb recently and noticed the same. It was a bit stuck coming off. Be sure to use bulb grease when you put back on. This may help if you need to replace again down the road.
Me too, I had to take the whole thing out and then disconnect it. I also had to do it all blind cuz I absolutely could not see in at all. I used my camera and took pictures to see if I was even close. This was most annoying thing I’ve ever done.
It is very helpful, thanks. btw your son is cool!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for uploading this video … made repair super easy! 👌
You're welcome!
would this work with D1S bulbs
Good video brad
How did you get the wire socket out? The you just force it out?
Great question. I don’t remember now. But my other light just went out and needs to be replaced. I’ll follow up once I do that one. Please let me know if you found another video that explains. I’d love to watch it beforehand.
@@mckennabrad yes, bending one the metal tabs , makes the thing lose
I just completed the other light. I see what you mean. Yes, I had to slightly bend the tabs and then bend back.
Great video! Thanks a lot!
I've done this bulb change a couple times, I'm giving the engineers at BMW the L for making this more of a pain than it has to be.
This is german engineering at it finest over complicated
Thank you for showing me broski w vid keep it up
Thanks for help
Was tough getting my biggass hands in there lol
Glad I could help
Hi the round piece to my car wouldn’t open up. I think i put it on wrong when i first opened it up. Is there another away i can open it up now? its jammed
I made the same mistake with the one under the hood thinking that was how to change the bulb. Long story short, I had to break off the little plastic triangles to get the cover off again to put it on correctly. If you find another way, good luck!
I was able to replace my low beam all by myself for the first time thanks to your video! Thank you! 🙌
Nice work!
Thank you!
You are welcome.
I had no idea how to change the bulb it used to be easy. It was worth 40 bucks to take it shop 😂 free coffee and bagel
But at least I know how now I’m thank you
I have no idea how you were able to see inside this housing?! I had zero visibility and had to do it all by feel. It should not be this difficult to change a simple headlight! Why would they even put the access there?? I cussed so much 😆
Its better than not having access there. Imagine having to change it through the top through the narrow gap. Or disassembling your front end.
Thank u 4 the vid.
You’re welcome
THANKS MAN
You're welcome!
Hi! Have you replaced the break light before? Was searching for a video to show how to do that and came across this one which is helpful for the future!
Is the same for a 2014 bmw 320 I
I’m not certain. But I think headlight housing in this F34 chassis will be very similar to the 320. Let me know what you find out.
Would REALLY appreciate it if you had shown everything, I got stuck at taking the plug out !
It’s very difficult to film in a small opening with hands in there too.
There are three metal tabs around it that are holding the lightbulb in place. They need to be bent slightly outward. Then you’ll be able to pull out the lightbulb. Around the 2:25-2:30 mark you can see what it looks like. Remember to bend them back when putting in the new lightbulb.
Does this work on the 2014 320i?
I’m not sure. Sorry.
I tried to take the bulb but I don’t know why it so hard to take it out.

I have put the new bulb in but it still doesn’t work. I think it is because the connector doesn’t work also ?
I've just tried doing this. Could BMW have made this any more difficult? Grazed knuckles, broken nails - I give up. I need two new front tyres anyway so I'll get the garage to do it... 🙄
I completely understand. I have definitely cut up my knuckles too. Sharp metal edges and small spaces. Ouch!
Man I got the exact same car
Boo how do u get those clips off???
This video shows. th-cam.com/video/hv95XvRJh-Q/w-d-xo.html
You need to show taking the plug off the bulb and actually taking the clips off
Thank you sir
I’ve searching several videos and no one still had my covers nor bulb. They all had the xeno whatever. Even tho my BMW is 2013 this 2015 instructions was perfect for me to move forward with my light changing project.
Never does any local mechanics want to touch BMW. I do not blame them these vehicles when things need to be fixed are a pain in the ass. But it takes a lot for them to need. Except for the gaskets. Who ever created those for the BMW is an idiot.
That's great to hear!
i tried fixing my car and realized this the wrong video lmao i got a 228i 2014
I hope you were able to find the video you needed.
My hands are too damn big, hurts like hell
As a female viewer u need to show the details!!! I don’t know how to get a plug out
Hi @beincute, I don’t think being a female viewer has anything to do with it. I’m certain it was more a result of the detail I covered (or didn’t in this case). I should have mentioned in the description that my son wanted to learn how to script, storyboard, shoot and edit a video. We did this together as an opportunity for him to learn before producing his own video. Clearly we missed some details. I hope you were able to find a better video. And never underestimate what you can accomplish!
As a moron you just stoopid
@@mckennabrad ... and still never answered the question on how to remove the wire plug. It's been asked a few times
@@CP-ux9zd hello. It has been a while since I changed one. But if you are referring to the electrical wire that attached to the bulb, I believe it just pulls off. You might try carefully using needle nose pliers to get a hold of it if stuck. But be careful if you do. You could crimp the wire harness. I hope that helps. Maybe someone else can answer as well.
What kind of plug?
Thanks for skipping all the important parts 😇
This job is so typical Eurotrash
Just buy American
Very bad video. Doesn’t actually show how you pull them out, only shows when it’s out and in already
You didn’t show nothing waste of time
It's not as easy as it looks, I took it to walmart, and the guy still couldnt put the led light in all the way.
Useless!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
