Help! Euro headlight swap, 2004 4.8is

The passenger side works just fine. The drivers fired up for minute then went bye bye. I have swapped in the working ballast, xenon bulb, and ignitor from my working 545i to try and narrow down the cause... Nothing. I have done all tests with the car running to make sure it's not a voltage issue (new battery too). Funny thing is, I put back in the original assembly and the projector fired right up.

Please help! Thank you.

Adding pics...well, just because? In any case-I'm thinking now this has something to do with the LCM after doing a bit more research...Any ideas on that from anybody?? Just have my indy look at codes using NCS expert?

Maybe the LCM needs to be reset. I would have your indy run DIS (not NCSExpert that is for coding) and see if any errors are being thrown up. You should have a function where he can activate each xenon light manually.

If he can do so, you may need to just reset the faults in the module, that might work. We had a member who had a similar issue recently, i forget what the resolution was...

Here is BimmerM3inGA's thread that Jay mentioned. I don't have any useful advice but you are describing a similar issue to his.

^Thanks for finding that Olek I knew it was recent.

Maybe just need to disconnect the LCM or ALC then and reset the modules
