Replacing Headlight Bulb on BMW E46

Just had a blub go, and the replacement is pretty easy:
  1. Buy an H7 55w bulb at any auto-parts store (~$15)
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector to the light socket by pressing in the middle tab and pulling up
  3. Hold the bulb socket and turn the gray rigng counterclockwise
  4. Pop out the old bulb, and place in the new one (do not touch the glass with your bare hands)
  5. Install is reverse

Good luck!
