F30 strip above angel eyes is not working

[Keko013]

Hello everyone, I was searching on forums and youtube but can’t find a solution. I have an F30 with bi-xenon lights which means I have angel eyes. Above angel eyes is one strip and it lights up like angel eyes but in my case that strip doesn’t work on left side. I was wondering if someone had similar problem or knows do I need to change complete light or bulb or some module, any help is appreciated. Sorry for my bad english ?

Welcome to the forum bro, introduce your self and upload some photos of your ride when you get a chance. I have F30 with bi-xenon and never noticed that there were strips that switches on with the lights. Let me check and will come back to you

LCI or pre LCI?

ok, I can confirm that mine don't work. I think they are just there for decoration or maybe they need to be activated by coding or something.

So on the F30 Pre-LCi the above strip is referred to as the eyebrow, normally comes on with the headlights...

On the F30 LCI, the above strip is as indicator as well...

I am sure there must be a way to change the globe, try using your VIN and the realOEM website to check the parts descrition to get a better idea.

Welcome to the forum bud!

Thank you all for fast response, this is photo of my car, I hope you can see difference, one eyebrow doesn’t work. It’s 2013 so it’s pre LCI. I will check out realOEM when I get back home tonight.

Some car info: After couple of e36’s and e46’s I got myself a 320d auto f30, it’s my first diesel car and it’s daily car. It has a lot of equipment such as harman kardon sound system, leather m seats, sunroof, head display, acc (big square sensor), 360 parking cameras, and many other stuff, only thing that is missing is m bumpers.

Thanks for nice behaviour and your help ?

Mine is a 2014 and both don't work and I had the car from New. I need to search on how to enable them to work. Normally when you have a blown bulb, there should be a warning on your display to say which bulb is blown

Mine stopped working recently, display shows nothing, I was hoping that someone knows if it’s bad bulb or not replacable. Thanks for any help

If I had the same spec vehicle, my car still being on motorplan, i would have come over an swapped with my working light and go claim through motorplan.

Don't say that loud bro, we have motor plan police on the forum  :fencelook:

I've heard stories from friends who knows apprentices that told them stories of certain dealerships doing things of some sort with regards to claiming on warranty.

rule of thumb:
Warranty pays for replacement of a component unlimited times, as long as failure occurs within its Warranty Term
Warranty pays for part failure when maintenance or customer pays , within 1 or 2 years of replacement date (example : BMW motorplan pays for output shaft in Feb 2019 , Output shaft fails August 2019 , its now a part failure claim that warranty pays for)


Not sure if the same applies to BMW , but I've Audited in a warranty department in the past.
