Flickering headlights

[bgittos]

Hey guys newcomer here. I have a problem and was wondering if anyone could help. My headlights flicker then turn off but a moment later they will c9me back on. Then every now and then one headlight will stay on and one will turn off any ideas why? The headlight bulbs are fine as they were changed last month for mot.

Welcome to the Forum

Did they flicker and mess around before the change of Bulb? Are your Lamps Halogen or Xenon ?

First I would check the simple things are there any loose connections anywhere plus check the earth connection are good and there is no corrosion anywhere.

If all connections are clean and the lamps are Halogen then check the switch. If they are Xenon then also check The Xenon control unit take care as this unit holds a high voltage discharge so if you don't know what your about get someone who does to help.

Finally, it could be a fault with the FCM/LCM (Footwell control Module/Light control Module) The best action here will be a Diagnostic Scan using a GOOD BMW capable system preferably ISTA/INPA or similar
