Hi,

I need to replace Driver-side headlight (not the module but actual headlight ) on my 2015 BMW X3 , seems it costs a fortune at authorised service centre, just wondering if there is any alternative solution to get it done at a reasonable cost ?

Thanks,

AK

Hi Kumar

Welcome to the Forum

I am assuming you mean the Lamp (Bulb) first you need to establish if your Lighting is Halogen bulbs, HID/Xenon or LED all were available for your model year. Take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box and it will bring up your Model then search Lights

I know from experience that some models need wheel arch liners removing to access lamp changes which would mean a hefty labour charge from a Dealer (most in my area are £200+ an hour) then the cost of the actual lamp Osram or Philips HID D1 lamps can be brought for around £60 (I would expect a Dealer to double that) so cost of a lamp change at a dealer I guess at £300 to £500 + If they are LED I have never changed one but would guess at similar prices

It isn't difficult just fiddly so I would look for online videos as guidance and DIY or try your local friendly Independent Garage

Hope this Helps

Dave
