How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a 2000 BMW 323?

Answer 1

There is a hole on the edge of your hood that is directly behind the turn signal lamp. When you look directly inside, you'll see a piece of plastic. That's not where you need to go. Instead, go about 1 inch behind that and about 1 to 2 inches deeper. That's what you need to push down with a flathead screwdriver. Push down and forward to nudge the lamp out of its socket.

Hope this helps someone. It took me a LONG time to finally get mine out. I wasn't ready to pay another arm and leg to change something that was supposed to be simple. :) Good luck.

AnswerExcellent help provided here - The only thing I would add is that you may want to use an extra long flathead screwdriver. The plastic tab that you need to press down on is pretty deep inside the hole.

Answer

I agree this is excellent help. I just wanted to add that this also works for a 1999 BMW 323.

ANSWER

So easy!! Look in the little hole, the second in from the front. You'll see a little silver tab. It's plastic, don't break it. The tab you need is about 1.5 inches below. Poke around. It will just pop out, THAT EASY!! Don't remove any thing from the headlight assembly.
