Default all bmw's headlight wires go bad - rust problems

I've been told by the dealer that the wire to the headlights are bad and rust out on all older models. Dealer told me $1500 to replace all rusted out wiring to the headlight. It will not happen within warranty. It takes over 5 years for the wires to rust but after 5 years or longer the wires will rust out and cause problems. I'm just trying to find where the short is in the wire and repair it myself to save $1500. I have a 2007 bmw 525i

Some in this post states there is no power to their light. I was just explaining why there is no power. The wire has rusted out somewhere and dealer wants $1500 to replace all wires. Yes BMW knows their wire has rust problems but it will not rust within warranty it takes over 5 years for the wire to rust out. How hard is it to replace all head light wiring? Is $1500 a good deal?
