BMW adaptive headlight fix

[Sjn611]

Recently had an error message saying drivers side main beam failure, along with high beam failure. The outside light on the drivers side now won’t illuminate ( when unlocking it flickers on then off). Wondering if it’s worth a new headlamp entirely which I know can be expensive, or if there is any other alternative fix? Pic of car for reference. TIA

Welcome to the Forum

I take it your car has LED adaptive lights ?

On the side of the headlamp is the LED control unit which is removable/changeable I have read that this would be a fix

A new headlamp will certainly not be cheap particularly from BMW (not sure if they will sell just the control unit) 

Try Googling BMW Recyclers Quarry Motors are one I have used in the past always been helpful

If you are not aware take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of yor Vin into the search box it will call up your model then look in the relavant section. That way you should get the correct part number (double click the part number and you will get a list of other models/years your parts were used on)
