Angel light not working

[bmwkiwi]

Help needed. Both my headlights have had condensation inside them.  On one of the headlights the Angel lights are no longer working at all.  The model is an 118i 2012 F20. Should I start by replacing the module, if so what one do I need?  Thanks

Hi Tony

Welcome to the Forum

Looking at the Diagnostic it would seem so 

Take a look at www.realoem.com if you are not already aware put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model. Then check the Lights Section you should find the part number you need there

Try and find where moisture is getting to avoid more shorts.

Thanks Greydog.  I put my VIN into that website and found a few options.  I have a report on my car based on my VIN and its and says "S522A Xenon Light"  I'm assuming I need the highlighted one in the screenshot?

Hi Tony

That looks right to me, if you double click the part number in realoem it will bring up a list of any alternatives that may help

Ok Great, Thanks Dave.  

I will look at ordering the "driver module for headlight" (Xenon).  I only want to pull the car apart once.  Is the part "Control unit xenon light" relevant or possibly faulty relating to this issue?

Hi Tony

Unfortunately the only way to be certain is to take the Unit out and test with a multi meter from the Diagnostic print the module had registered a short circuit. The other intermittent communication faults I would suspect are linked to the short circuit some may need reseting once the module is changed
