Seems to be a common issue. In order to change the headlamp, the bumper must be removed. This is a very costly project. My son has a 2009 7 series with this problem. Cars should have been recalled.

Wiring inside of the headlamp assembly is failing due to insulation that is disintegrating. This is resulting in electrical short circuits that prevent the headlight bulbs from working properly.

We bought a bmw with adaptive headlight error code. After researching it, we found out the fix is extremely expensive ($1200+) and most people report if you even hit a pot hole in road, it will cause it to malfunction again. The lights remain fixed in a incorrect position therefore causing a safety hazard because the road is improperly lit.

Several months ago I noticed that by airbag disabled light flickering on and off while driving. At this same time the overhead light passenger airbag disabled would flicker off and on. Since then it is currently on the whole time, even if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. Thus my passenger airbag will not deploy even if I am in an accident. I read this recall and assumed that my car would be covered under the recall since the recall lists my make, model and year as being covered. However, the when I called my dealership they said that my VIN is not covered under the recall. So I do not understand why the recall lists my make, model and year as being covered (plus I have the exact faults listed as to why this recall is occurring) but the dealership is telling me that their records show I am not covered. I do not believe bmw is being honest about all the cars that are affected by this recall.

I have a 2006 bmw 325i. It has always had a problem with the headlights burning out very quickly. Now the lighting on the left side (headlights and tail lights) sometimes do not come on, and sometimes remain on after being turned off. This is a real safety concern as this gives no warning beforehand. It is my daughters car and she is currently living away at college.
