Hey guys i did a search on the forums for my replcement headlight blub but i wanted to get an updated conformation for my car,

So long story short, my driver side headlight was flickering for a day, next day its out. Right side still working. I got an error message saying my low beams malfunction on idrive, but high beams dont work either, i did hear a click when i tried to flashed my high beams, but thats it.

my question, are these the correct headlight bulbs that will fit in my car?

Thanks in advance. P.S., im not trying to cheap out, if there is a better brand please link it to me as i think my ballast is still okay

When my headlight did that exact thing, it ended up being the ballast.

Beam malfunction probably means ballast

For bulb out, they say "bulb out", as far as i remember

Any links to a site where i can find a ballast?

And when i put my ear to the headlight while i hold my high beams, i do hear a buzzing noise, but once every 2-3 seconds the buss comes

Yeah so, if it's only buzzing every few seconds it's definitely the ballast.

This is how I find parts for my 335i.

First, go to www.realoem.com and enter your cars information.
Then, find the part number for the ballast that fits your car.
Take that part number and enter it into Google, eBay, etc. and see what you can find the cheapest!!

Good luck

Turned out the be JUST the bulb. 335is d1s bulb comes with igniter and im not sure if we even have a ballast. Thank for info tho. My bulb did click also.

Thanks for following up and confirming it was not the ballast.
Did you replace yourself? any details? cost? where did you buy? recommendations? Tips etc..
Ive got to replace my driverside xenon and looks like its pricey bulb and not so simple to replace.
