Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

2 possibility i.e. blub blown or balast (control unit in BMW terms) is down.

If bulb, you can get from bimshop or eng soon.

Previous E46 ride bulb kaput couple of times and fault light lit up on dash. FYI, shops sell replacement in pairs
 
Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

Yes. My fault code did light up. N the faulty side does light up n dies off.

If you are refering to there's light and fault code appear when light dies... switching off engine... later on engine again the light is on but will die off again (fault code appears)... could be the blub's connection is loose.

But if you are refering to fault code appear after the light died... could be either the blub or balast.

Mine is original. Just got it replaced,but didn't solve the issue. Light will be fine for aft 5mins I can see it flicker than it does off. Any howone has this issue?
 
Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

is yours the HID version of e90?
if you have replaced yr bulbs then it seems like ur balast has gone bonkers.
 
Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

change ballast only. mai scared.
 
Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

Ballest IS WITHIN hundreds. It is not within tens, not under a hundred and not in thousands.
 
Re: Left bi xenon can't light up

Driving 08 e90 325,exactly same issue on the left side,no time to drop by workshop for check.

Do update what's your cost n what have been done..;)

No, number of BMW ballest is at least in THOUSANDS. Just count the number of members here. Most of us have 2.

Oh, by the way, a ballast should cost a few hundred bucks.
