    Hi I have a 2012 3 series Coupe and the dipped beam headlight fault has just come on the dash Does anybody have any advice or videos of how to change the bulb?? I've had a quick look under the bonnet and cannot see how you can change it? Been quoted £373 at BMW which is extortionate to say...

    Hi all, probably covered in many other posts so apologies. My 59 plate LCI e61 has ran up an error of left dipped light failure. No problem, as I replaced some of the other bulbs in there. The lights IMHO are poor, and I thought it may be an idea to upgrade the lights. I see many options on...

    Hi to all, I have had my beloved 528i for almost ten years now and it is 21 years old but still like new. That is part of the problem though! I have never been at all happy with the light from the dipped beam setting on the headlights. I can hardly see enough road to go 30mph at night on...

    Most probably a stupid question but will ask anyway. Not sure if my headlights are halogen or not, They do auto level when I turn on in the dark if that helps. I assume the dipped beam is standard h7 55w bulbs and on dipped the light output is poor so I'm thinking of replacing with osram night...

    Hi Guys, First post on here, so bare with me! I've recently bought a 2010 520d SE which came with the simply shocking halogens on it, which I decided to get rid of pretty ASAP. Lots of research later, I've now fitted a really quite good HID Xenon kit which had no errors or anything. A bit of a...

    Hi About a year ago one of the headlights dipped beam went. Before I got round to getting a new bulb it came back and worked again. This happened again about a month ago. It stays 'out' for around a week then seems to come back again. Yesterday both headlights dipped beams have gone. I have...

    Hi all, can anyone help. I have changed my h7s dipped and both didn't work. I've changed my offside back and it works, but still my drivers side is off even with it changed back. I bought some philips diamond to put in and they are doing the same. I thought Phillips would be error free. Could I...

    Hi all!! Both dipped headlights have stopped working. Checked fuses and all is fine. Can't be the bulbs because they both went off at the same time. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Nice pun I think!! Thanks

    I bought my 525i two years ago and immediately 'upgraded' to Osram silverstar H7 bulbs. I haven't done much night driving, but now I am driving on dark twisty country lanes and the beam is dreadful. My old car (that I gave to my wife) was a 1998 E39 with HB4 Nightbreakers that easily outperform...

    Hi, As the title suggests, my n/s dipped light is not working (though the beam does work) even though the o/s dipped light does work. Also, my n/s main light has to be 'moved around' in order for it come on. However, it does tend to go out itself after a while. I have checked the bulbs and...

    Just had my MOT done and the dipped beams were intermittently flickering and then knocking off. Turn it off them back on then they would reset and work. Do it again then they flicker and don't turn on. Have done some research and LCM has been suggested. Any ideas? Thanks

    Hi All One of my dipped beams is not working (not a big deal as I never use them alone) Headlights r ok though. Is it hard to change the bulb? And as the bulb is the warm white style (sort of yellowish) can anyone recommend something else e.g. a cool white one? And what sort of bulb is it?
