Dipped beam failure help!!!

Ryn86 · 02-21-2018, 02:34 PM

Hi folks, I have an E91 and it’s became a pain in the arse over the last week and was looking to see if anyone had similar drama

First is starts giving the generic external lighting failure warning light. Checked all the bulbs they all work fine no issues.

Then one dipped beam fails change the bulb as now I have the original warning plus the dipped beam failure warning light that’s been maybe 4 Days.

But today the other side decided to stop working so I now have full beam, side lights but no dipped beam at all.

Having read up it seems to suggest the FRM module might need replaced bit that was only replaced 2 years ago when I bought the car so would think that’s unusual. Anyone help with this thing having happened to them?

several on my e91 had corrosion from water leaking through the cowling.

You have BMW tools or some other way to see if there are other codes? FRM failure is certainly possible.
