Driver's Side Halos Quit

Radiation Joe · 09-17-2013, 06:27 PM

Got a warning yesterday that the running lights were out on the driver's side. When I looked both halos on the driver's side were out. How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance. I didn't find anything in a search. Maybe just old and slow.

Replace bulbs.. Mine went out during warranty and stealership replaced it for free for me. Both sides actually.

Replace the H8 bulb

Exactly. Remove plastic cover on top, remove H8 bulb, buy new one at autozone, replace bulb, replace cover. I have done both sides on my 08M3.

Check power delivery with replacement halogen bulb or multimeter. If no power is at the connector, the FRM module will need to be reset.

Just replace the bulb.

My X5 halo went out a few months ago and it was as simple as picking up the bulb at Napa and installing it in 10 minutes.

Please tell me how one goes about resetting the FRM module? I just had the same thing happen, no power at the connector....

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, it's a trip to the dealer.

If you can find an independent with autologic programmer or an individual with Bavarian Technic cable, they can also reset FRM.

Thanks for all the responses. I've got the Bavtech cable and a multimeter at home. I'll give a try tomorrow.
