Front left low beam headlight not working

BMW 3 Series 2014 328i x-drive GT 77000 miles
Replaced the bulb (Sylvania H7) & also tried exchanging the working bulb from the right low beam. Didn't fix it. Checked the 4 fuses that control the lights (40, 57, 100, 167). All look good. Still not working. The light bulb wires look like new. Is there a relay used for the lights? Read on Bimmerpost that there isn't one and the lights are controlled by the FEM. Any other suggestions on what to check? Thanks

I am currently having the same issue with my 2015 328i. Have you found what has caused the issue?? Trying to avoid going to the dealership.

No, I haven't. No one has come forward with suggestions yet so I'm now going to replace the fuses despite them looking OK and assume there is no relay for the headlights. I'm with you... trying to avoid the dealership if I can. I still am waiting for them to schedule the fix for the recall issued last October.

What is the recall info or update on this lightning issue? I’m also dealing with the same problem.

Check the ballasts. 2 on each side.

Brian H7 bulbs are halogen bulbs and do not have a ballast on them... im dealing with this issue myself i've gone through the fuses and they're good testing for voltage at the bulb connection getting nothing so far. Will update to see what i find
