So basically my issue has been going on ever since I started using the HID angel eyes, now I'm not saying that it has anything to do with the problem but I thought I would mention it. Two months ago my driver side headlight stopped working, I took the bulb out and tested it in the passenger side headlight and it worked. So obviously the problem had to do with the headlight module and not the bulb, I took my vehicle into BMW under warranty and had the module replaced. Around two-three weeks later the headlight went out again, again I tested the same bulb and it was not the bulb. Took it into BMW and had the headlight module replaced again about a month ago. Now the last few days the headlight AGAIN went out, lol...
So basically what I'm trying to figure out are a few things, could it possibly be something with the HID angel eye that is causing this? Could it possibly be the aftermarket HID headlight bulb that is causing this? If either were the case then why only the driver side. Could it be a short somewhere in the headlight wiring itself that is causing this?
Lastly my vehicle is no longer under warranty, and I've heard these modules can cost up to $600, so am I pretty much screwed or does BMW have any type of warranty for parts. I don't mind paying out of pocket to get it replaced again if so, but obviously I need to try to troubleshoot somehow to figure out why this keeps happening over and over again, something BMW obviously couldn't figure out after two-three attempts.
