mallymal Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm trying to replace my headlamps on 2012 125i - I can get the rubber dust caps off, but can't see how I release the bulb housing I don't have a manual, so any pointers? I was expecting some kind of clip but can't see, only feel! Thanks! Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There should be a spring lock or removable sliding part in the connector. Normally the ship where you bought would install it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchbike Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Don't bother and have a shop do it for you, i was struggling to replace a lightbulb on my wifes Click, and gave up, my hands are just to big, even the Thai are struggeling in that tiny place. I like working on bikes but hate working on a scooter,like a Click. The only way is to remove a lot of plastic which for some strange reason seem impossible to but back without breaking something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, any fairly priced shop will supply the bulb and install the bulb for about 100 Baht, or even less. Why bother doing yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled to do the turn lamp bulb then watched a guy change one while I was there charging a battery and he just reached in and did it whereas I took the damn thing apart. Always good to see someone who does it daily do it first..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yes, ask a local to do it, smaller hands, and they seem to have a lot of experience taking out the working bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I don't think there is anyone in the country who knows how to replace a rear light bulb judging from the number of non-working motorbike tail lights. After it burns out from new just leave it be. You need to see where you are going, not where you have been is the national view! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I ended up letting Greenwing do it - they ended up taking all the plastic off to get to it- didn't even try to reach up to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis888 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This is so true, if you like to see where you've just been and want to see it again then it's logical, you need light...... 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughJass Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I hope you realise that you need a work permit for that as you are cheating a thai out of the price of a bowl of noodles by doing it yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar God Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It must be incredibly difficult because every night I see at least a dozen scooters driving down pitch black roads without any headlights. I wonder if I've ever seen the same one twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 All sorted now. I do have a work permit, but more than that I have better lights now. Hope I don't blind anybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
