Check control error headlight

[m3f_derek2079]

Why does my check control say my low beam is out when it’s not?


Factory headlights. Were replaced recently. Both work.

Try disconnecting the bulb and plugging it back in.

I did that.

Maybe try pulling out the bulbs and look at the sockets, see if there's any corrosion on there or on the headlight housing. I had an issue like this with one of my taillights. Ended up replacing the actual taillight.

Did you have hids installed prior?

[m3f_derek2079]

Yes but there are no cancellers connected.

I would just bypass the check control module. There is a DIY over on bimmerforums.

Then the shunt on the main beam check circuit is probably broken.

I tried with no avail.

It shouldn't show low beam failure if the bypass was done correctly.
