Sounds like it would be simpler to remove the washer bottle?

Actually that is even harder. Also requires the bumper to be removed as well as the head light. It is buried in the quarter panel and is sort of wrapped around the head light on the drivers side.Originally Posted by BoraBora

Argh why didnt you write this up about 4 months ago, i paid someone to replace mine after looking online and thinking this is too hard
The factory bulbs must have a failure rate which is about now.

So cars are getting on for 10 years which is about 1.2 hours of use a day.
Seems legit.

I'm very happy to say that I never had to do this myself.
Got my R36 and one of the globes wasn't in properly and someone had put a wood screw in to hold the dust cover..
Had to have my front bumper replaced under insurance and asked if they could pretty please put a new bulb in (Supplied a pair) and I now have Phillips 6000k D1S' which are nice but were not cheap by any means.\
Nice writeup too, you put me off installing these for six weeks while I waited for my claim to go through :p

can actually do this without the removal of the front bar
