    Hello
    All is there a easy way to get to the passenger side head light ? looking at the head light housing there's 3 bolts that I can see I'm hoping that if I remove them the hole thing will come off and make it easy as I am debating on a relay just to be safe thinking of the ddm tuning kit at 6000k on my 2011 3 any feed back ?

    You can't remove the headlight without removing the bumper, there are mounting bolts on the bottom. Good news is, you can put in that bulb without replacing the headlight. You may need to move the coolant reservoir, the engine air intake tube, and the one coolant hose. You also need to have small hands. But IMHO it's not really worth tearing the bumper off for.
