Two nights ago when I turned off my headlights I got a warning to check the low beams. I did so and learned that one headlight was off. The next morning, when the car was running, I gently jiggled the leads to he low beam bulb. The headlight failed. Now both are out.
The owner's manual said to check the fuses. When I opened up the fuse box under the hood, I could not determine which fuse corresponds to the low beams. The fuse box in the trunck also did not appear to have a low beam fuse. I called BMW of Riverside (CA) and they could not tell me which fuse corresponded to the low beams. They said to bring it in.
A couple questions:
1. Does anyone know which fuse I need to check?
2. Does a failure of this sort indicate a major problem (note that the hi beams work)?
Thanks for any input,
Erik
