Help please! day time running light tilted down
Hi everyone !
Month ago, my headlight bulb died and i went to shop to get new one and replace my self. Guy at store insisted that he will do replacement and i agree . He didn't seem to knowledgeable and i was stupid enough to let him start . Of course he pulled one of my daytime running lights (perfectly fine bulb) also on the wrong side . I caught his mistake on time ,he put it back , I said "thanks' ,left and changed headlight bulb by my self (took me 10 min). Few days ago i start noticing that my daytime running light at passenger side seems brighter .Quick look, and my light bulb is tilled down. looks like he didn't put it back right . This morning i tried to take bulb out and place it right but its very hard to see what is going on . Guys , i searched everywhere to see if i can fin some DIY step-by step instructions but no luck . Does anyone know how to take darn thing out ? I was able to access without taking whole headlight housing out and disconnect a cable ,but light bulb wont move . I don't want to force it and break something .BTW. Car is 07 328i (e90) with regular halogen lights (i can post pics. if needed ). I think this should be pretty much straight forward. Any help is greatly appreciated . Last edited by 90rr; 12-11-2011 at 11:05 AM.. |

It sounds like he didn't rotate the bulb when he put it back in and kind of jammed it. You should be able to wiggle it out. It's the high beam bulb (just on half power for DRL), so make sure not to touch it with your fingers, and if you do wipe it off.

mine got dislodged somehow too...probably from a pothole or something. i've been too lazy to fix it since its just the DRL.
