BMW Xenon Headlight Bulb Replacement - 2000-2006 X5 (E53)

The BMW Repair Guide strongly recommends removing the entire headlight assembly in 2000-2006 X5 vehicles to change the bulbs. This video gives detailed instructions on removing the headlight and replacing the bi-xenon high/low beam, angel eye, parking, and turn signal bulbs.

THANK YOU!

The one you called "parking light" is actually the high beam bulb. By default they run as DRLs.

On 2002 X5 E53 - this is completely unnecessary to remove whole fixture. Changing bulbs (any of them) does not need assembly removal - Only 2nd air intake on passenger side, and air filter housing on drivers side / this will give you access to the bulbs. If replacing entire headlight fixture - You only need to remove the thin trim panel underneath the headlight assembly and screws to get it out. Recommend upgrades to LED from Halogen since they are now brighter.
