Low Beam Light Out
Hey all,
So the other day I got a message on the I drive that there was an issue with my low beam bulb. I got out and it was a pinkish colour.
I'm wondering what type of bulb I need ? I have xenon low beams and im wondering what a fairly priced bulb would be.
Thanks.

Enter the last 7 digits of your VIN here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select Drill down to lighting to check which is applicable. Likely D2S HID lamp. Pink means it's dying for sure. I typically replace both at the same time, and keep the one that was working as a spare.
You can get a Philips D2S on amazon.ca for $67.

Ah yes! The OEM website is amazing. I was just missing the part about the last 7 of the VIN.
I see I need a d2s bulb, thanks for the help!

Does your car have adaptive headlights? Look on the ring from the exterior of the lens. My 12/07 build lamp says BMW DYNAMIC and uses D1.

Actually, I might be wrong about 09/2005, could be 03/2005, but if your is a 2007 built car, then you need a D1S, unless someone had the factory headlights replaced with the older ones...
