- In this video I show The struggles of dealing with water damaged done too the xenon headlight assemblies and how they burn up the headlight control module inside of them. I also show how to diagnose the system and how it operates and the affects of aftermarket parts.
This is pure gold. Thank you Sadel
Really Enjoyed that! Fab video, if only customers knew how tough our job is sometimes.
Man i feel the struggle been in that situation , ur video is spot on…thanks for psoting this video Water damage is on the top list of things u want to avoid, oxidation spreads like no other and if u dont replace whole harness, you will playing catchup on fault codes and it will end to be wire that got water damage and the corrosion traveled inside the wire which u wont know till u splice the wire. Id say clean the wires as much as u can and check the wires everytime u do an oil change or if possible every other month because some of the damage will comeback and if ur able catch it this time it will be very helpful on the life of the part or the car.
awesome video! Thanks a lot.
Another great diagnostic 😊
Hola primo .
Otra pregunta primo ¿ será que con el Autel que usted usa puedo programar un eis?
I don't do much BMW work but I have learned anything over a 3 series always gets factory parts straight from BMW. Even spark plugs and filters.
Hey, did you ever get the halo lights to work on the drivers side? And if so how did you manage to do it? Thanks in advance.
Great diagnosis, Wondering why you didn't scope the LIN bus with the aftermarket headlight modules and with the factory modules to see the difference. Thank you.
On my 2012 BMW 535i, I had condensation impact my left turn, headlight aiming and angel lights. The module from amazon was an easy replacement. You can access it from the door in the wheel well. It's easier if you remove the tire. No coding needed.
My 2011 E92 just lost both of its headlights at the same time and I’m getting ready to start this same journey, or so it appears. The headlights have a lot of moisture/condensation in them so I suspect the modules. Strange that they BOTH quit at the same time though. Could one module somehow take out/damage the other module or possibly affect the RFM in a way where both would quit at the same time? I dread this stuff!
The same with Aftermarket LIN Alternators, you need to scope the LIN HEADER to see if the 2 modules, OEM & AM are speaking the same Header bits, it not, they are not compatible. If you simply look at the Header, the first several bits, you will see if they are the same or not. NEXT question, is there a compatible AM part, maybe, but you got the wrong part number more than likely or there is no part number for your application? Thank you for the long case study.
Hi, I have the same plug harness is there any way you can tell me if you know the pin numbers and color wire meanings which is which ???
Man! This is exactly the problem I have. Where you get those multimeter tips? What is the name?
Wich tool you use? Nice video 😊
Awesome video. I have a similar issue. Installed an aftermarket headlight driver module. It works fine but if the car sits for a day, it looses LIN communication. Then you either has to unplug the headlight and plug it back in or do a battery reset. Then it works fine until the car sits for a day. Got me all confused. Do you think it's the aftermarket module?
It is frustration to learn after all your hard work it was the cheap part, great job. I bought the same part VEMO part from FCPEuro, saving a $180, and now I am asking them for a refund and buy the OEM part. The extra time we bought spent was not worth the savings.😊😊 Did you get a refund for you parts?
Boss what's meant d flash and p flash
Oh no. I just bought a 535i 2009 with one headlight and blinker not working. I thought it was just a bulb to replace. Looks like I’m in for a huge garage bill. What a pain.
