My Low Headlight Output Saga?
I recently posted here http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=447 about my headlights. This thread is more appropriate for my ongoing interaction with my dealer.
I recently noted, to my service team leader, that my headlights weren't bright enough at night on a dark road. They used a machine and checked the alignment. They found no problems. I took a trip which required me to traverse a few two lane and twisty roads. It was very early and quite dark. The low beams are woefully inadequate. I had a long quiet talk with the service and parts managers and we plan to:
Things I learned: 1) replacing the entire lighting unit is expensive $3000 for the unit and much more for the labor and 2) replacing the bulb voids the electrical warranty , even if I use a BMW bulb and BMW labor. I will keep you posted.
