Bon Matin,
I did a bit of searching here (as I do daily) and found some posts relating to putting in new non-oem LED lights etc, but I'm not sure if thats the same as what I need.
I got my left dimmer light fault yesterday so I need to place that.
Being Dublin, there are limited BMW specialists and I would have to sell a lung to just get booked in for the smallest job.
Is this something I can do myself with tools in that upper boot compartment? Is there a link to any picture step by step.
Also, if I'm doing one shodul I just do the two of them and buy 2 new bulbs? Its the dimmer, not the headlight so any thoughts on some cool dimmer bulbd you are using
would be good.
Can any garage do this easily or is there anything special about bimmer bulb for eg.
Thanks and apologies in advance for my bulb ignorance on these cars.
My previous car had a simple clip, no strange tools required and it popped out and back in again with minimal fuss.
