Hello everyone , I'm Justin. Today I purchased a 2009 528xi, after test driving it I absolutely had to have it. What a great car! This is my first time here and am excited to learn about these cars as much as I can. I noticed this evening I have a driver's side headlight out and a left low beam malfunction on the iDrive screen. Tomorrow I'll look at it, my guess is an ignitor or bulb, as it does flicker when turning on the headlights but then turns off. Nothing else to nitpick. 60/40 fold down rear seats rock! I'll post pics tomorrow. Here's the options.

hi np

JayArras

to the forum, Justin! The two issues with the headlight are likely just a burned out bulb. There is a recent thread that tells you how to remove the headlamp assembly to get at the bulb.

Justinp1982

Thank You guys so much for the warm welcome and Jay for the help on the headlight. Some of you may probably know me as justin318i on bimmerforums as well.

JayArras

We won't hold that against you.

Justinp1982

Changed out the bulb today and now it works great, thanks for the pro-tip Jay.
