Light out warning, all lights working question

SpartanGA · 08-17-2015, 10:21 AM

Bought my 2009 M3 a week ago. Has a set of LUX H8 160s that look awesome (no idea if its causing this, but its relevant). I am getting the warning light saying a light is out...but after walking the car, I see no lights out. No head lights, turn signals, brake, backup, 3rd brake light...nothing. everything looks fine.

Any ideas?

thx

I did some searching and rather than delete this, thought I would post a link.

Several items I will try in the attached.

Could it be the cornering light? Happened to me and took me awhile before figuring that out as you can't see it unless steering wheel is turned with lights on Auto (A) mode.

LUX H8 160s? is it for the halo rings?

Hook up the stock halogen angel eye bulbs and see if the message goes away. You don't need to put them in the socket, disconnect the connector to the Lux and plug into halogen bulb. Maybe have someone hold the halogen bulb while you turn the ignition on.

BMW coding is your friend in this case.
