how to access the turn signal bulb on halogen headlamps?

Vic3Driver · 03-04-2012, 06:01 PM

I tried searching, but I couldn't find a DIY on replacing the turnsignal bulb. I am new to the E90 and just getting my feet wet. I know tons on my E46 and the change is easy given. But on the E90 the entire lamp is one piece, how the heck do I access the signal bulb without removing any body components?

its exactly the same way as the m3s check out the weisslicht turn signal installation video..u access the wheel well without even having to take off the wheel, ull see a knob that holds the bulbs..maybe use a twizzer and twist it off and simply lock the new bulb in and you are done.

Wheel well gives you access to the housing back cover and fogs and halos.
