Got mine fixed following your directions, and most importantly, I saved like $150.00 that the dealer would have charge me!! Thank you much.

I just fixed my faulty bulb using your advice and you were 100% on point. Probably saved me $100. By the way I prefer the classic halogen warm-light look over LED on this era BMW. Thanks from Australia!

E 92 replaced right hand side today H8 bulb $38 Australian. 10 mins to do it. Nimble fingers, manipulate rear of bulb down to remove, ensure replacement bulb is seated squarely in slots before rotating anti clockwise. tkx for video.

Great video! I have a 2010 BMW M3 and the part number you gave fit perfectly! The instructions you gave were spot on, so for $15 for the bulb and literally 5 minutes of my time I was able to easily do it myself. You saved me a ton of money and I appreciate it! P.S. the bulb you suggested came out as yellowish which was a perfect color match to my other halo lighting. THANK YOU!

Jesus Christ is King

@johnleo6201 3 жыл бұрын

I think there is a lot of confusion because of the difference between the sedan (e90) and coupe/convertible (e92/93) design. If you have the sedan, you have to go through the wheel well. If you are lucky enough to have the coupe convertible like me, it is a 10 min job and exactly as OP’s video states. You would think all 3 models are identical but no.

Has anyone had an experience where after replacing the bulb only one circle of the pair of angel eyes light up? I have changed them five times and I think the problem is how and what position the bulb is in when it gets turned in order to lock in place..... I'm doing it where the angle piece goes straight up and I turn and I think they have to be put in upside down for the light to reflect to the other circle on the angel eye

But then I've seen this and a few others that access it from the top/hood, which this is a different bulb/compartment. Can anyone please clarify?

@jasonbourne1119 2 жыл бұрын

theres a few different headlight housings depending on your model e90/e92 and the year it was made 2006-2008/2009-2011. some you have to take off the wheel panel and the bulb is under the housing, or you might have one on the top side of the housing with a "twist cap" best of luck

Its alright but the right side is a little more brighter than the left side that you change the bulb so it means that the right side bulb quality is better!

@johnleo6201 3 жыл бұрын

Answered my own question: the driver’s side halo H8 goes back up to 90 degrees. The passenger side only goes back up to about 45 degrees. You can see the passenger side halo in the video. Thank goodness I didn’t try to brute force it. So weird that both sides are not symmetrical.

I could not for the life of me twist the new bulb counterclockwise until it locked back into place. I’m pretty sure I found the groove, where the red edge of the new bulb pushed flush into the fixture. But when turning counterclockwise, it seemed to hit a stop. I pushed pretty hard, but no luck. Wanted to be careful not to push too hard and break something. Any advice?

BMW has one of the most overly complicated headlight assemblies and bulb install. Why can't it be freaking simple like Volvo? Some BMW models you can't even put your hand properly to remove the bulb even when it's got a ton of space in the engine bay. They have to make it difficult to remove the bulb then the retainer clips they design is so stupid.
