How to Replace a BMW Z3 Instrument Panel Bulb


1. Turn the Z3's engine off and raise up the hood. Using the socket wrench, carefully remove the black terminal off the battery.
2. Remove the four screws from the instrument panel with a Torx-head screwdriver. Grip the edges of the instrument panel with your fingers and pull it out of the Z3 until you can access the underside of the instrument panel. Disconnect the three wiring connectors at the back of the instrument panel.
3. Pull the Z3's instrument panel out of the Z3 completely. Flip the instrument panel over and locate the burnt bulbs on the underside of the Z3's instrument panel.
4. Pull the Z3's burnt bulbs off the instrument panel and use a clean cloth to install the new bulbs. You may need to use light force to push them in.
5. Reassemble the Z3's instrument panel and reconnect the Z3's battery.
