E92 - Changing indicator bulbs

Folks

I'm trying to change my indicator bulbs for LED ones. All the guides say there should be an access point in the wheel arch, but my car doesn't have one! There's a grille with an air filter of sorts but that's it.

Has anyone else successfully changed E92 indicator bulbs?!

They're accessible through the wheel arch liner which really has to be removed. The e92 doesn't have an access point. Some guys have done it by removing a few screws and clips but it's better with the wheel off. Good luck with fitting LED indicator bulbs. I've tried a few (F&R) with so called 'error free' canbus blah, blah, blah and not cheap ones either. All of them have triggered the bulb error warning on the dash

Ah Ok, cheers. I'll get the wheels off tomorrow.

I got the bulbs from Horizon, and hopefully I can code out the bulb checks.

I'll let you know!

It's a PITA, but possible without removing the wheels. Just put steering on full lock for each wing and be a bit brutal with the liner...
