Bulb replacement

Hi, just ordered a pair of dipped beam MTEC bulbs and am looking into best place to get LED's for my angel eyes. Any suggestions?

Anyway, can any bulbs actually be changed from the engine bay?

Anyone got a guide to changing the halo bulbs?

I've got a 320D 2009 E91 LCI M Sport with halogen bulbs

Thanks

Bought mine from Horizon LEDs as mentioned in other thread, fitted from the engine bay no problem but I do have small hands

I unbolted the airbox & that made it easier

Thought my new set of AE bulbs would have arrived today so fingers crossed they'll be here tomorrow

Not yet, I got a auto reply saying they are not open until the 4th which is fair enough, I have also had a email from them saying they are in stock so should be with me next week

Can't fault the service so far

As JM85 said, all the headlight bulbs can be changed from under the bonnet, but access isn't easy and be prepared to lose some skin

Are we talking about dipped beam bulbs here? as I did these through the little window thing in the wheel arch, I just turned the wheel to full lock rather than take it off as i was being lazy

The AE's I did from under the bonnet
