bmw f10 angel eye ring - where to buy?

[atto40]

hello all 

 

been searching the site for the answers but couldn't find anything, hence this post. 

 

as you can see from he picture, the passenger side outer angel eye is not working and I have no idea where or what part i need to replace it. 

This is the original BMW headlight not a HELLA brand and my car is stated as BMW 5 Series F10 LCI 520d Sedan (5E52) 2015 520d M Sport.

 

as it s not working, i would have thought it would show an error on the dash, but nothing. 

appreciate any help thanks

Morning Atto

Not come across this one before 

Sadly, it seems BMW (and their lamp designer/suppliers) have surpassed themselves I am told by a contact in BMW that the way to fix it is a new headlamp unit????

Which is Bonkers BMW can you seriously be suggesting a failed bulb should cost many hundreds of pounds to replace

I think I would be tempted to see if the headlamp unit can be dismantled or not. More internet searching called for me thinks. I would also be talking to BMW UK to see if they will offer any help/solution plus a letter to Angela Rippon at Rip Off Britain. I don't know how an MOT examiner may view it ? some can be fussy about bulbs out on marker lights.

Good Luck
