2000 BMW 323I, Changing The Front Turns Signal Bulb

This 2000 BMW 323I came in with the right front turn signal not working. It took me a little while to figure out exactly how to remove the light assembly but I knew something happened through this slotted hole.

I could see this tab through the slot and tried to move it from side to side with no luck.

With a good flashlight I was able to see this piece of plastic and realized that it flexed when pushing down on it.

Placing the screwdriver further down in the slot allowed me to push down and release the latch. Once the latch was pushed in the light assembly would just slide straight out the front of the vehicle.

After that it was just a simple matter of rotating the black socket assembly to release it from the lens.

Now the bulb is exposed and ready to be replaced. The bulb is a double element bulb and also functions as the right front park light.

While I do my best to detail as much information as possible. There are many repairs that I have yet to document and some of you may wish to have more than I have provided.

Although having an abundance of information does not guarantee an easy repair, the lack of adequate information will guarantee a failed repair!
