How to remove headlights on BMW E60/E61 

The removal of the bumper screws was a game changer. Last time I did this it took about an hour to get the headlight off. This time round, after watching this video, it took a few minutes.

Love these kind of videos. No BS just straight to the point. Very helpful!

Much easier than I would’ve thought. Thanks for the upload!

Just changed the parking sensor on my E60 530i LCI thanks to your video 🙂cheers buddy 👌

Excellent video, thank you

Best vid to remove lights 👍

Your accent....is PERFECT omfg ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the video. This is a big help!! Subscribed!!

Nice video. Thank you sir. Thumbs up.

I finally got around to changing my headlights today. I swapped them with new OEM Hellas, which ship with headlight bulbs and turn signal bulbs installed. The install was very straight forward, but now, for some reason, I have no high beams! I haven't swapped the bulbs out yet, but rather odd that neither side would have highs, whereas they were working fine before (existing control modules were removed from old lamps and installed on new)

Thank you!!

Thx man 👍

Top class!

Thanks for video it’s a great help. I’m pulling mine out because the wiring insulation in the headlights is breaking down and the wires are becoming bare. This is a known problem with this car because they use some soy based material for the wire insulation. I recommend everybody to check this out. The globe heat causes the insulation to break down. This is typical of Mercs and other German cars now because of some greeny environmental compliance. This problem can cause your headlights to fail. I am going to cut all my wiring and replace it with real wire and use heat shrink to cover solder joints

Thank you for this Video, I followed it exactly and had no problems at all, the masking tape tip is well worth the effort to avoid scratching paintwork. Dont look any further than this Video if you want to change bulbs etc, one thing I would add, when I did my E60 LCI lights the Torx screws under the rubber/plastic trim that secure top of bumper/fender are thread glued in at the factory, you will need a ratchet drive or Torx driver with slot or fitment for lever or spanner if they have never been removed before, they are very tight to shift

Thank you Sir, Such a detailed video. I enjoyed it a lot!

Great video! Well shot and straightforward. I’m swapping out lamps on an 08 E61. Any additional parts I should have on hand, eg, seals, etc? Thanks again Elite

Great video, my 2006 e61 has two connectors but the replacement assembly only has one. Will this be a problem? What is the small connector for?

My garage did my light today when I came home I noticed a big gap between my headlight and the bonnet I will have to go back tomorrow

AWESOME VIDEO AND MUSIC. What camera do you use toshoot while you work buddy?

What type of driver did you use to get the screw in the back of the headlight out ? (The deep ones ) ive been trying a torx 30 and it just doesnt seem to fit

hello sir, is it the same for 523i E60 2007? thank you very much for the tutorial

Do you guys disconnect the battery before doing this to avoid shorting anything, or that’s not necessary ?

The hardest part is putting them back on

Hi sir, Is your headlight come with adaptive headlight?

I have the LCI model with bi xenon headlights as well, lately my headlights are acting weird. Initial start is bright but after about 10 mins, it gets dimmer and light output is quite bad. Could it be the issue with the ballast? From what I know tho, ballast either work or dont work at all (CMIIW).

It is really not the right way to do it and I'm sorry to say it like that. But you actually has to take of the bombers to put them back in again without damaging the support brackets in the bottom. By the way it is extremely difficult to put them back in to the brackets and that's why nobody shows the fight it is when you only do half the work needed

I just hate changing bulbs on BMW, it's like doing brain surgery. My old Toyota Highlander, it was such a breeze, since there was so much room. I can stick my hand and just wiggle the bulb out easily.
