Problems with my 2007 E70

Hi Guys

So, i just upgraded from from 2003 to a 2007 3.0d X5, loving it so far

Some small things i noticed, I am getting a 'restraint systems faulty!' warning and the lights are on the dash, any ideas on where to start? I've plugged it into my very small diagnostics and its not reading any faults

Also, Im getting ALOT of light warnings? as in.....

Foglight rear left failure
reversing light right failure

parking light front left failure and so on and so on??? all these lights are working, what is going on there???

Any help would be great, thanks folks

How old is the battery? Might want to also check fuses.

Battery, Fuses, Any water leaks in the rear compartment? Require opening up trim panels to look for water. Sunroof drains, etc

There is a module that controls lghts called the FRM (foot rest module)...issues with this module, or low voltages causing issues in it, can lead to odd lighting errors

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies, so what I've discovered, previous owner had fitted HID's into the front fogs, now he did have the 'warning cancellers' fitted too, i have since removed the whole kit and put them back to standard h11's but the warnings are still on the dash? would these need to be cleared?

So, got my bike plugged in

The airbag light brought up a fault relating to 'anchor fitting tensioner, driver'

and the light faults appear to be my FRM, can anyone tell me or show me instructions on how to replace either? i can't even find the FRM!!
