  1. Thanks Dave and Jez. I spoke to a mechanic and he said it maybe a corroded connection.. however I'm not totally convinced since the angel light issue was fixed straight away by swapping out the aliexpress module, so I'm guessing that means he is implying I had a faulty module and connection at the same time. I have since ordered a 2nd hand Hella BMW headlight which I have been told has working modules. It is probably the original TMS module. I am thinking of swapping the aliexpress one with that which hopefully means I don't need to program it or clear all the faults. However is the module able to be swapped by removing the tyre and accessing the back flap on the passenger side? (car is right hand drive). I don't want to have to pull the front bumper off again. Cheers
  2. Hi Dave, I have managed to swapout with a replacement TMS module. The angel light is now working on that side.. however I still getting a "Headlight vertical aim control failure". When I start my car in my garage I can see the lights go up and down briefly then the error appears. Do I need to reprogram the module? I brought the module from aliexpress.
  3. 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?
  4. 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?
  5. 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
