AE out on one side... Help!!

My angel eyes went dead on my drivers side head light.. I have a 07\' e92... Could it be a fuse? It\'s odd that both would just go.. I had a light out symbol on my obc for a few days but all my lights worked.. Anyone know anything or is it just time for them to burn out.. Help!?!

Same problem here. I had both go out, and magically the passengers side came back on a few months later. Now the drivers side still doesn't work.

Anyone with advice please help

Not sure which pictogram the AE's fall under but it looks like either 62, 84, 86, or 77. Take a look at the fuse box (behind the panel in your glovebox) and see if any of those look blown. I've seen 3er's with only one of the two angel eyes burn out in a particular headlight, so while it's possible that both happened to burn out at the same time, a fuse is something to check too.

There's only 1 bulb for each headlight, to light both angel eye rings.

Lighting is not covered under CPO which I assume your under since you have an '07.

Check before getting raped at the dealer. It's a $20 part (if that) and easy to change. I think easier on your E92 vs my E90.

Ohh ok. You should be good then. I would search for some common problems for your car before warranty runs out and try to get them fixed under warranty.

Thanks man, I actually stopped by advanced autoparts and they had 1 H8 35w bulb, some guy ordered and never picked it up.. Lucky day I guess. 15 bucks later I'm all good. It was actually very simple with e92 just pop off a cover and the bulb was very easy to get to.. So saved a trip. I just was scared bc it looked like the e90 AE change was a nightmare lol..
Anyways I might extend my Matienance another 2 years for 2800$... Kinda pricey but Im sure it'll pay off.. After 2 years of brakes oil changes and stuff like that..
