Default E60 2004 Adaptive Headlight blinking green light

All of my lights work, however, I have a blinking green LED on the switch. Mammothly perplexed. Have run my code reader and get nothing. No blown fuses. NO DASH INDICATED ERROR CODE either. Have read multiple threads on this but no one really addresses the remedy when all lights are functional. HELP. It’s a small distraction and I hate when things aren’t working properly.

Its blinking because the adaptive part is malfunctioning. Your lights will still work they just won't move. You have to replace the module and recode to get it back working.

Depending on your skills. If you're not comfortable with troubleshooting to find which part is bad and coding the part then a trip it is.

It doesn't hurt if you don't fix it but since the blinking is getting on your nerves then a trip it is. It will cost between $500-$1000. Depending on the shop you go to.
