Hi, I have a F10 520d with halogen headlights. The original problem I noticed is the the angel eyes on the N/S headlight had stopped working. I did not think it was LED related as I believe the angels had separate LED's for each ring, so the chances if both LED's going at the same time are slim. Noticed this evening that the same headlight has stopped auto leveling, is there a control module of some description that could be the issue?

Many thanks,

Chris.

Hello,

On this vehicle there is actually single led bulb for each headlight for the angle eyes.
So check that light as it could be bad.

If the self leveeing function is not working it is due to the control module for that head light. It is located at the back of the headlight housing (see diagram below).
Please note that the module does need to be reprogrammed. I have induced the programming procedure for the module as well.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
