Hi Samantha, first make sure you have the correct replacement bulbs before starting. For a 2016 BMW 5 Series, you'll need H7 bulbs. To access the bulbs, you'll need to remove the back cover of the headlight housing. Once that is removed, you can easily remove and replace the bulbs. Just be careful not to touch the new bulbs with your bare hands, as this can cause them to burn out quicker.
