Headlights
My left headlight went out today so thinking about replacing the bulb tomorrow. Is it a standard part that I can get at Autozone or should I order the BMW part? I'm assuming it's an easy DIY to replace the bulb.

Stupid Q so pardon my ignorance!
So I looked at the manual and apparently it's an H7 55w bulb. I see that there are two types available online: halogen and xenon. How can I tell which one I have? |

Must have been a separate option at the time?

There's different ways to tell. Xenon lights are white and bright, halogens put out a a yellow light, not as bright. Also, if you have xenons they have auto leveling, when you turn on your car at night the headlights go down and back up.

Thanks guys! Based on all the info I think it's regular halogen, which is good seeing how they're so cheap! Heading out to Autozone today to get the bulb :>
