Hey All,

The rear light cluster is dead; brake, reverse, and indicator lights are not working. I have had my CPO 2008 550i M Sport since January. It has 48K miles. Warranty should cover this however, I wanted to know if there are other issues surrounding this light malfunction before I take it to the dealer.

Cheers
Eugene

could be as simple as a burn fuse that controls the rear portion of the car

The lights are driven by the LM. If it has failed neither left or right tail clusters would work.

Check fuses F5 and F6 (glove box). They are 50A fuses.
