BMW XENON BULB REPLACEMENT AND HEADLIGHT REMOVAL - DIY

A short tutorial on how to replace xenon bulb and also, how to remove headlight from your car, which is the tricky part of this job.
You will need
D1S bulb (depends on your model, mine is E60 5 series)
T30 torx long screw driver
H8 socket (8mm)
It is relatively easy job. It takes about an hour. Tricky part is getting the headlight in and out. Take your time and you´ll be fine.
There is a BMW warning, that the lights must be OFF for any headlight manipulation. Be carefull, make sure the ignition is off, headlights in 0 position.
A word of warning - I am not a professional mechanic. Should you choose to follow this tutorial, you do that at your own risk.

Can you clarify what an H8 socket is? I found the torx t30 screw driver online but have no idea what an H8 socket is.

Sorry for confusing description. It means regular 8mm socket (H = HEX).

I noticed the light didn't stay illuminated after installation. It illuminated intermently is that to be expected after new install?

I didn't noticed what you are describing.

@@DIYProjectX at the end of the video it looks like the light comes on then goes off
