DIY 2006 BMW z4 low beam xenon bulb change

I’ve recently changed the bi-xenon low beam bulb in my headlight, it was pretty quick and much cheaper than the dealership. I used the wrong bulb in the vide…

Great instructions mate, just changed low beam lights on my Z4 following
this video without removing the tires.

why didn’t you take off the wheel and remove the light?

Tyrone Tracy says:

you can take the wheel off if you want. But some people dont have access to
a jack stand….

Quick question @Tyrone Tracy, when changing the lights do you have to get
the light programmed b/c I’m getting told that alot outhere in GA?

Tyrone Tracy says:

No such thing as bi-xenon bulb (not sure why they call it bi-xenon). What
happens is that when you turn on high beams the xenon low beam bulb gets
brighter and a halogen high beam comes on, so total light output increases.
So you need to replace your bulb with a ‘regular’ xenon bulb. I bought the
original (OEM) lights, do a search on ebay for this: GE LIGHTING D2S X 1
BULB 53500 HID 35W REPLACEMENT 4300K XENON GERMANY HEADLIGHT

Tyrone Tracy says:

i didn’t get the light programmed. Just take out old one and put in new
one. What does programming the light mean? I dont think there’s a circuit
in there, circuity should be outside applying or not applying voltage to
the bulb, all i did was replace the bulb (not the circuit controlling it).
Maybe they mean headlight leveling, my car levels the headlights
automatically. i’m sure there are videos on how to make sure your car’s
headlights are level.

Tyrone Tracy says:

hey, so my car has the bi-xenon bulbs however i was using the halogen H7s
in the video, so foolishly i had the wrong replacement bulb. i ended up
buying a xenon bulb and it worked great. So check if you have a xenon or
halogen bulb then buy the proper replacement. I think the z4 stock option
is H7 halogen unless you upgraded your lights

Tyrone Tracy says:

hey, yea hoping the video helped people out. i got the correct replacement
bulb from ebay.com. Just search “GE LIGHTING D2S X 1 BULB 53500 HID 35W
REPLACEMENT 4300K XENON GERMANY HEADLIGHT”. cost is about $60. i’m sure you
can go to your local dealership and they’ll sell you the part, might be
more expensive, maybe 80 or 90 dollars.

Hi, where did you get the gloves? any reference? I’m looking for one but
don’t know where to find it 🙂

Is it possible to change the blinker or indicator light without removing
the wheel?

GuitarPickWear says:

Hey Tyrone! I’m getting ready to replace the bulbs in my ’05, and thank you
for posting this!! :). I used a quarter to turn the tabs (it was handy).
But I’m curious-when your light didn’t come back on, w

Tyrone Tracy says:

yes you should be able to replace that bulb without taking the wheel off.
It’s a little cramped but i think it was possible. search “Changing BMW Z4
Front Blinker Bulbs” on youtube, someone made a video.

Adeel L says:

hey do you mind me asking where did you get your bi-xenon bulb from and how
much did it cost you. Thank you for posting the video btw… it really
helps.

Renan Gyn Basso says:

you can only kidding O.O? if your car calls d2s xenon bulb will have to use
the same without saying that if you connect the lamp in the reactor, the
risk of causing a fire. 12volt halogen / xenon 23.000volt who sold it to
you was cheating you 😛

Thai Peter Thach says:

Thanks for the post, man! What Xenon Bulb did you buy? Is there a thing as
Bi_Xenon bulb?

GuitarPickWear says:

…sorry..what was the cause? I’ve got H7’s for mine- looked just like
yours in the video, so I’m curious as to why it didn’t work for you, if you
don’t mind sharing. Thank you!
