They are the right ones to use in cities because they illuminate the way and they are really visible for other drivers without dazzling them. In some countries, their usage is mandatory but just to drive in highways and routes, and in some other countries they should be turned on constantly just to drive.
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
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.
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
