[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really does depend on the car. In some models it is extremely difficult to open a headlight assembly and replace the bulb. It's not necessarily the same as replacing a bulb above your bathroom mirror. I don't know how difficult it is in a BMW but it may not be nearly as easy as everyone thinks.

I would think a reputable service station can take care of this. If you'd rather use an authentic BMW part, you can order the bulb online or buy it from your dealer, and then take the bulb to the service station to have the actual work done.[/quote]

I posted the bulb and the video. I know how easy it is, because I have changed them in my BMW.

[b]OP, if you don't want to do it yourself, order the Philips bulb I posted, and take it to a service station. They can do it for you. The Philips bulb is top of the line[/b].[/quote]

Thanks.  This seems like a good option.

Dumb question but is the Phillips bulb what a BMW dealership would use?  [/quote]
Probably not. BMW will use a very special bulb stuffed into a box stamped with the BMW logo, even though it was really made by one of many generic light bulb manufacturers that hold the BMW light bulb contract. The BMW logo does not mean it was made by BMW or it has a better quality than any other light bulb.

[b]I do agree with changing out both [/b]because the other one is probably about to burn out, too.[/quote]

This is great advice.  Thank tou.  [/quote]
