    BMW F30 Headlight Issue

    Anyone encounter any issues with the F30's? The dim bulb stops working, triggers the dash error and a few days later will work again, or if I just take it out and refit it starts working. Its a h7 bulb which I've already replaced and wiring and bubs etc all seem fine.

    Its an intermittent issue but very annoying none the less.

    Thanks in advance,
    James

    Never had that on an F30 James but the F15 X5 had to get a bit of the headlight loom changed immediately after we got it.

    Hi John, the jeep going well for you otherwise? Great fun to drive.

    Was your issue intermittent also?

    Hi James,
    The light was on when we got the car (and I knew this in advance) so it went straight from the docks to Murphy & Gunn so I don't know whether it was intermittent or permanent before that.
    Otherwise it has been a dream, I've been told if I sell it I may as well sell myself!
