Side light not working
My car has shown the symbol for a blown bulb. I have an E92 with Zenons.
Neither of the front "rings" are working on drivers side front. Do these work off one bulb or what way do they work. Just ask this as it seems a little strange both have gone if they are 2 bulbs or whatever. What the price of replacement? |

Its your angle eye bulb. Means taking off the front wheel and wheel arch liner to get at it. Lots of DIY guides on here. I think yours will be a H8 bulb. Might be worth getting LEDs to replace them.

Are you sure about the access being so hard .......... other threads I have looked at shows it as a 5 min job with popping open a cover on top of the headlight unit.

bit awkward as not a lot of room, just twist the bulb holder clockwise as you are looking at it from front of car, after about 1/4 turn bulb holder will become free and then just pull it out. Same for both sides. |

I think it depends on what model you have as to getting access.
If you have a E90/91 I think the access is through the wheel arch liner If you ahve a E92/93 then access is a lot easier through the top of the engine, remove flap, twist bulb out replace and reverse fitting - it does help if you have nimble hands though |
