Hello:

I have an 05' 545i with Xenons. I got a message today that my highbeam bulb was out. What are my options for replacement and possibly upgrading them?

Is it xenon high beams or the flash to pass bulb? Cuz high beams should be the same bulb as the low beams. Its controlled by a shutter

I would go test it... park up against a wall and turn on your high beam (pushing the blinker stalk forward) and see what happens to both side of the lights... and then try the flash to pass... (pull on the blinker stalk)

Report back.

It seems to be the daytime running light which also serves as the flash topass lights
