@Lucas Auer It’s an K&N 57i kit 2nd gen.

Reif Reifsnyder says:

I can’t even see the back of the bulb on my car.

It’s covered by something that I don’t know what it is.

Buy osram night breaker, it will look nice and wash your engine sometimes.

calvinblinkee says:

So the HID replacement procedure would be different?

GolfingPete60 says:

Shai, When you reinstall the unit you tighten by turning the levers
clockwise, not counter-clockwise as stated in your otherwise nice video.

donvee2000 says:

Remember…as the demonstration shows DO NOT touch the bulb with your bare
fingers or get any kind of contaminants on the glass. BUT if you do……
clean it with a cotton ball and alcohol. Grease from your fingers will
cause uneven heating of the glass and it will crack.

Ranelle Galvez says:

are you supposed to make the bulb snap into place or it just sits on it
like a spring? cause at first my bulb started to smoke, but the second time
i turned on the light nothing happened.

Love the e46!!

dizzywow says:

Wrong on the rotation directions. From the perspective of the rear of the
assembly, off is counterclockwise, on is clockwise, just like you would
expect.

Shai Avisira says:

I will, thanks!

Steven Stakos says:

Why don’t you upgrade to hids mate they are alot beter brighter and last 5
times more than halogen lights

luchiboy says:

Is this the same for an E38? (7 series)

larryjohnny says:

thank you! by chance do you know how to change the ignitor for the xenon
headlamps.. I change the bulb and it still didn’t work. the dealer told me
to buy an ignitor which i found on ebay and a new bulb for about $160,
would have been $700 + $150 labor at the dealership.. what a rip off! but
how do I install this? Thanks for the tips..

Shai Avisira says:

just fit no special sound with the bulbs I’m using

pgmorse says:

Dude- you’re awesome!! Thanks so much. I changed my headlamp in 2 minutes –
literally.

Ranelle Galvez says:

is it supposed to makea *snap* sound or just fit into it?
