Hi guys, I'm the original owner of a 2004 545. The parking light warning light came on yesterday and after inspecting my lights I found the driver side low beam is burnt. Here is my dilema. Should I just look into getting the proper bulb to replace the bad ones? or should I look into getting a new set of headlights. There are 2 lights on either side. So I would need 2 regular headlights and 2 low beams. What type do you reccomend? Thanks in advance!!

Of course just replace the bulbs. Why would you replace the whole headlight if it's only the bulb that's out?

What I meant to say is should I just replace the bad bulb or get a new set of the brighter bulbs, especially since they are original and about 6 years old. Thanks

That still doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since either way you'll be replacing the bulbs. And whether or not you go with "brighter" bulbs is subjective to your needs.

In regards to the idea of brighter bulbs, are you thinking of different temperature bulbs? Other than that, I don't see how you are going to replace OEM bulbs with anything else besides another bulb that is 35W as well.

Ask yourself if you got a flat, would you replace all four tires or the the flat tire....
