How do you change a left headlight and a front left indicator bulbs on a 2002 BMW 325i?
Please post any photos and any recos on bulbs to be used.
BMW E46 series with regular lighting system.
Thanks
Instructions for both are in the owners manual.
If you don't have one, see link below.
If you have xenon headlamps you should be careful when changing the bulb. Make sure you purchase the correct application (D2S) and DONT TOUCH THE BULB when replacing it. If it's a standard halogen bulb then you still have to get the correct application the still do not touch the bulb end. Your fingerprints will cause it to burn in hot spots which will eventually lead to another burn out. Hopefully it's just a halogen because HID Xenon bulbs from factory are REALLy $$$$$$$$. I just replaced one of mine for $175, but you should never have to replace an HID bulb. It usually means there's something else wrong other than the bulb itself. To replace either or you have to remove the plastic caps on the reverse side of the headlight inside the engine compartment and twist out the bulb.
Now for the indicator bulb there should be a hole with a screw down inside it on top of the housing where your hood sits. Stick a screw driver down there and unscrew it. It doesn't come out all the way!!! So don't force it. THen pull the whole housing out and turn the bulb connector a little to release the housing. ******When you slide the housing back into place make sure you don't tighten the screw down too much, you could crack the plactic Y looking piece that hold the whole housing in. Good Luck

These are legitimate Spartan optical rotary encoders giving rotation make detailed differences on their products. On the "B side engeneered" patterns (which I posted before) PCBs button, I put the outline of how I connected these knobs. For some reason Alpine (bordmonitor is manufactured by Alpine) decision to use two buttons, one with 5 pins, one with 6 pins.However, the functionality / naming complex of them seems to be the same. The one with 6 pins required input Vcc (5V) and provides peak wind shifted on the J2.2 / 3 pin. The other (with 5 pins) are not a constraint Vdc auxiliary. It is therefore an objective difficulty in the slate-up (to Vcc) both J1.1 Pins / 3 and you get the output. On the E39-forum.de noisily found the producer of rotary controls for consistent on the 4:3 screen.
