Xenon Headlight Replaced, not working!
Halogen, angel eye and turn signal - parking lights are working fine on both, but the driver xenon side just wont work. The headlight assembly and wiring plug in wasn't mishandled, dropped or otherwise damaged. I can't find a fuse or relay label for headlamps. What possibly could be wrong?? Please help me, I'm trying to avoid going to the local stealership. Thank you! Last edited by North Idaho X5; 01-25-2019 at 06:17 AM. Reason: more information |

Thank you, and please excuse my lack of knowledge, but I'm not sure what ignitor in PS is. Could you tell me what that is and how to test it? - Chris |

A search suggestion would be to google for BMW e53 x5 xenon ALC module (which is item #5 in the diagram posted above). It's a topic that has come up in the past and the threads about this topic (similar to yours) may shed some light and be helpful. If you see results for other BMW models from the same era that have adaptive bi-xenon headlights...don't dismiss them because the situation and solution will be similar.

Thank you. I guess I got my terminology wrong, sorry. What was swapped from passenger side to driver side was #2 and #3 as shown. (I thought #2 was called the ballast). And you're right, when rotating open #2 to remove, the small harness does come out. I made sure it was snugly re-inserted on both after rotating back to closed position. - Chris |

Many thanks, I'll be swapping the ballasts (#1) Sunday afternoon sometime, I'll let you know how it goes. You and others have been a great help, and I most certainly appreciate it! I'm really looking forward to learning more about this amazing vehicle and it's varied technology as time goes on. Stay tuned!! Cheers, Chris
