Hi,
Been search the forum for DIY on replacing the OEM DRL light bulb on pre-lci e60 and can't seem to get any luck of finding it. Please help much appreciated.

Thanks

if you got a small hand you could reach in and try to change it.

the easiest way (for me) is taking the headlight out and change the bulb.

If you do a search on taking the headlight out, i'm sure there's some.

you can even youtube it

hope it helps

Thanks for the info, too bad someone did not do a DIY on just replacing the bulb without removing the complete headlight assembly.

That's the problem though. As what chhay24 says, if you have small hands you "might" be able to do it. It's a real tight fit. I have small hands and it's still a pain in the a$$ that it was easer for me to take the whole thing out. Most DIYs involve taking the assembly out because it's just easier that way.

+1 Removing the headlight assembly takes 5 minutes and makes bulb changing 100 times easier.
