Had a bulb go on my X5 this morning and thought oh well never mind that'll take 5 mins to change......unfortunately not so easy! Getting to the headlight itself isn't so difficult but getting the clip back on the headlight is a complete nightmare! An hour later and the clip still isn't on, my hands are shredded from the poorly finished plastic and now I have no nearside headlight. Boy am I cheesed off, yet another piece of appallingly bad design by BMW.

The angel eyes are easier when one of those goes - I did it myself and I really am a complete idiot !

got the clip into today, but it doesn't feel as though it is going to stay there, we'll see after a trip to the airport and back tomorrow if it is still there!

Took mine to hhalfords and they did it should have seen the look on the guy's face when I told him it was an x5

They are a bloody nightmare! When I changed the piss poor halogens for HIDs, I used a mirror to see what was what. It helped a bit with orientation. How do the angel eye bulbs come out?

I was thinking of putting some led bulbs in those. How do you get them out?
