I recently installed these low beam head light bulbs on my 2014 BMW 328xi. While these are great light bulbs for your low beams, they are very difficult to install. They are a bit whiter than my old low beam head lamps, please see my photos above for additional information. *I highly recommended watching a few “how-to” videos online before you even try to install these light bulbs. If you still want to do it yourself after watching the video, then following my advice may help you avoid some of the headaches that I experienced the first time that I tried to install my low beam head lamps. To begin, you will need a good flashlight or shop light and a regular sized flat head screwdriver. 1) First, turn the front wheels of your vehicle all the way to the right to install the left bulb, and to the left to install the right bulb. You need to turn the wheels in order to access the light compartment without removing the wheel which for some insane reason is in the wheel-well of the vehicle. (Thank you BMW for making this process extremely difficult). 2) MAKE SURE TO TURN YOUR VEHICLE OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT TASK! Once the wheels are turned you can then access the light bulb compartment in the vehicles wheel-well. 3) To remove the plastic cover of the light compartment loosen the two tabs at the top and carefully pry it off with the screwdriver. Once removed you will see the round cover for the low beam light bulb. 4) Turn this to the left to remove, remembering that this one screws on and off. Do not try to pry the round cover off with the screwdriver or you will break it. Both of these covers should come off rather easily. Once inside the light compartment feel around for the back of the bulb. Once you discover the back of the bulb. 5) To remove the bulb you will need to very carefully stick your flathead screwdriver into the light compartment to move the small clip at the very top of the bulb so that it releases the bulb. (You’ll see this in the video when you watch it). You should hear a slight click sound when the top tab is released. The bulb will still be connected to the cord at this time. 6) Carefully pull the bulb and cord out of the light compartment. 7) Once out slowly wiggle the bulb off the plug being very careful not to damage the plug or cord. This may take a few minutes to do, but it will eventually come off, just make sure not to damage the plug or the cord. After you have removed the old bulb, take the new bulb out of the package being very careful not to touch the glass part of the new bulb. 8) When you have the new bulb out, slowly install the bulb onto the plug making sure that the small tab on the back of the bulb is facing up, and the circular part of the back of the bulb is facing down. (*SEE PHOTOS) 9) Once the bulb is on the plug, you can start to install the light bulb into place. 10) While working the bulb with one hand, you can watch from the front side of the vehicle to see that the tip of the new bulb is going into the correct hole. Watching from the front of the light compartment will help you to correctly guide the bulb into place. If installed correctly, (small tab UP), you will feel the bulb click into place. 11) Once installed, test the bulb to make sure that it correctly works. After your test, if the bulb correctly works you can 12) replace the round cover on the light compartment, (remember that this cover screws on) 13) then reinstall the square cover of the light compartment that is in the wheel-well. Make sure that this clicks back into place to ensure that debris does not get into the light compartment. You are now ready to do the other side of the vehicle because we always install new bulbs in pairs. Lastly, I highly encourage anyone that is going to attempt to do this to watch any of the great “how-to” videos online that will very clearly show you how to install the low beam light bulbs in your BMW. Good luck with your adventure, I hope that this review will offer some assistance to you with the difficult task of changing your low beam head lamps in your BMW 3-Series vehicle.

Great product, authentic Hella at great price, 100% recommend.

These are not anywhere near as bright as the osram night breakers, but the light is much whiter. Compared to an oe Philips or osram bulb they will not keep up in brightness so I would not recommend them for headlights, but for side bulbs or cornering lights they work pretty well. Color temp is about 5000K in the real world and matches up pretty well against my osram cbi HID bulbs which are about 5500K. Overall decent bulb for the money, but they are China made so I expect they'll go dim and die within a year just like other cheaper China bulbs. Osram and Philips are worth the extra 5-10$ since they will last 2 to 3 years.

Oh, how delighted I was when I first switched on the HELLA H7 100WTB High Wattage Bulbs! The darkness outside, which had earlier crept around the car like a mischievous little troll, suddenly leapt back in surprise. These bulbs shine not merely with light, but with the bold, bright spirit of a Pippi-like adventurer—fearless, cheerful, and absolutely unwilling to let a gloomy road have the last word. Driving with them feels like setting off through a winter forest in one of my stories, where magic flickers behind every tree and safety accompanies you like a loyal friend. The beams stretch far and wide, crisp and strong, as if they are calling out, “Come along now! There is so much to see!” And my, how much more confident the world becomes when the path ahead glows warmly instead of sulking in shadows. The installation was quick—simple enough that even Tommy and Annika could manage it with a bit of determination. These HELLA bulbs are bright, brave, and full of charm. They make the night feel like an adventure rather than a worry, and for that, I love them dearly.

Great deal for the price! Better than my previous Autozone buy. Perfect fit and better performance too.

Bright as the original!

Not as bright as stated. If these are 100% more output, I cannot imagine what the normal one is. Otherwise, the size is good and the fit is good. Completely compatible with my car. No error code and color is accurate. With a more accurate brightness, it would be a higher rating.
