DRL Fails..

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

So on my F13 M6 one half of the outer DRL has failed.. 

I'm currently having the headlight pulled apart and repaired as BMW wanted 5-10k for a new unit !. 

I will let you know how it goes..

Just wondering if this is a common BMW issue?..

Cheers, 

Gary.

lots of late model headlights and tailights are failing , led parts fail and often not repairable , unless just a module

So, an update. 

The whole headlight unit is chemically sealed so it cant be split.

A new unit is required.  

Been told by the light specialist, more and more late model cars are going this way now.. 

Another BMW lesson learned.. Even more so important to buy an aftermarket warranty with a late car... 

 

Cheers,

Gary.

Ah the joys of high tech - lower quality parts in modern cars. 

Sad what they have done to maximize their profits and build in obsolescence

WOw.. first Cats, now lights... 

The bumper needs to come off on the M6 so hopefully that's a deterrent.. 

The dealer i bought the car from is footing the headlight bill so im going for a genuine part 😉 

Thanks Fella's.
