Can't figure out this headlight warning light

[stephenkirsh]

Haven't been able to figure out my light warning issue.




The warning light only turns on if I turn on my headlights. If I turn the switch to just parking lights, no issue. If I turn on my high beams via the stalk, but no low beams, no issue. If I turn on my hazards, no issue. It's only if I turn on headlights.

I have switched all 8 bulbs and sockets left to right and the error doesn't switch sides. Fogs. Blinkers. Low beams. High beams.

All of my lights on the exterior of the car work. I'm stumped.

Headlight fluid is low. Duh.

There are 2 or 3 headlight control modules, each about $300, start checking each of those to see if one is failing.

Any chance it could we showing up due to a weak ground, given what you have tried with bulb swaps, etc? I had issues with one of the inner halogens going out and it turned out to be a problem with the grounding block near the front end of the fender well.

How would I do that?

See what INPA reports

I don't know what INPA is.

I don't know what INPA is.

It is factory BMW diagnostic software that test various functions of individual modules.

Ok well I don't have free access to one. I guess I have to take it to a shop?
