All right so I have a two part question. I recently bought a 2008 BMW 528i with a salvage title from an auction. I spent about a month fixing the car and it looks great, but I am having a problem with the adaptive headlights. I bought two headlights separately from ebay and installed the lights. The headlights themselves work, but whenever I turn the car on the adaptive headlight malfunction warning comes up and I had already installed the adaptive modules. The question I have is do I need to take the car into the dealer to get the adaptive headlights reset or is there some trick to clearing the error.
The other question I have is I already passed the inspection for the salvage title and got it cleared with the dmv, but is my bmw warranty now voided because it was once salvage because I am not sure if I am still covered for anything with the dealer. So that's it thanks in advanced! |
Did you replace the ALC units? If so, you need to get the headlights programmed from the dealership.

Yes I did replace both the ALC units and after a little playing around with it I got one of the headlights to move around when I start up the car, but it does not respond when I am driving. I am not sure if this is a safety feature though since the other ALC module seems to be broken. I am trying to do as much of the work myself as possible for right now so when I do take it to the dealership it is an in-and-out type of thing, even though I am most likely going to get hit with a $200+ bill :P Alright well thank you for the advice!

So that's it thanks in advanced! What kind of malfunction warning do you get ? , a flashing green LED on the lightswitch or a yellow headligt with arrows in the center of the cluster ? If it is the LED on the lightswitch its likely the ALC box'es that need programing , but if it is the one in the cluster it can be becourse the headligths alligment is to much out of "arear" of what it should be. |
