Hi asousa,
I need to replace low beam bulb on passenger side of 2004 X5 3.0i.
In the Owner's Manual on page 159 they specify H7 bulb 55 watts.
I bought 2, just in case.
The procedure described in the Manual is:
"1. Remove the cover
2. Turn the bulb holder to the left and remove
3. Pull bulb out of bulb holder by base and replace"
It looks deceptively simple.
How difficult is it to remove the cover?
I noticed 4 screws that attach the back plastic cover,
2 of which are more difficult to reach.
Probably wise to disconnect one battery lead.
Anything else important ?
Thanks,
norman.
