Re: E85 12V 10W Halo Bulb replacement
Curiously, how easy was it to remove the bulb housing? When I look under my bonnet all I see is ENGINE... If anyone has any instructions that would help I wouldn't mind messing with different LED's to see what the outcome was. Surely if it has an LED at each side of the bottom of the ring pointing into the ring it would work....

The lights are accessed behind a flap in the front wheel arches - not from the engine bay

Cool. Is it the same procedure if you have xenon lamps? Anyone done this on their M?

Done this weekend. Can’t say it was easy, but glad I did it and used a 20w bulb. Much improved. Thank you.
