Problem with my halo bulbs. Need help!!!

dAng! E90 · 02-17-2013, 11:55 AM

I bought BMS halo bulbs about two months ago. I just recently had one go out on the driver side. I sent BMS an email about it and they were quick to respond and send another light out. I recieved the light and installed it but it still doesn't work. I put a multimeter on the connection and I am not getting any voltage on that side. The rest of the headlight works perfect. I need to know if there is a fuse that I can replace? OR does anyone have a suggestion on what to do? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

No one has an answer?!?!? I have a feeling the wiring inside the headlight is messed up and I'm going to have to replace the whole thing.

Take it in to the dealer and get it fixed?

Had this exact situation happen to me. You'll need to get the FRM (footwell module) reset either by an independent shop or BMW. Cost me about $60 through the dealer.

Basically what happened is when your bulb shorted, the FRM cut power to the halo ring to prevent a fire. Now it needs to reset to know everything is in working order again.
