angel eye stopped working

on my 2008 E90, I assume the bulb burned out? I checked the harness and it seems ok from the outside, happen to anybody else? I searched the forums but did not find much(wrong search terms?)

so instead of one eye I turned off the daytime running lights. Just seems like something odd to break.

Go to your dealer, that's what they're there for...

I'm sure it's an easy fix or whatever it is, that's why we have warranties on these cars...

Probably an electrical issue (loose harness, etc.) or most likely, could be a burnout.

I had some aftermarket angel eye bulbs installed and it triggered a short circuit according to the computer. Even when I put the stock bulbs back in they didn't work. When I took it to the dealer, I found out they had been disabled by the computer and all they had to do was re-enable it.

while that hasn't happened to me, i've seen rather plenty of e9x with only one of the angel eyes working. looks like the euro "one side on" light thing
anyways, what i want to say is i think it's kinda common
