Intermittant headlight

Dopont12 · 06-15-2011, 10:22 AM

I have a 2003 330xi, my right headlight has been working intermittantly, seems like it is weather sensitive. I brought it into a BMW garage and they installed a new igniter. Well, needless to say, the headlight still only comes on when it feels like it. The garage wants me to come back so they can do a process of elimination, to switch the bulbs to see if the right bulb works in the left headlight and visa versa. If the bulb is bad, it wouldn't come on at all, I really don't think this is the problem. Has anyone else had this problem or have a suggestion?

You either should be on an E46 forum or need to clarify that you have an '05/'06 330xi.
