Five problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2006 BMW 325. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Drivers side low beam started flashing when car hit bumps and while turning the steering wheel to the right. Opened bulb access cover to check the bulb and found that the majority of the wiring inside the headlight assembly has hardened and flaking insulation, exposing bare copper wire and allowing it to short out. Removed the headlight assembly for a more through inspection and discovered the same damage on the high beam wiring and deterioration on the entire wiring harness inside the light. Serious safety risk as well as fire risk.
Headlight wiring insulation is deteriorating and falling apart. Right side headlight wiring is completely damaged and headlight does not work.
Foot well module and junction box electrical short. Some lights stay on even if the car is off some signals dont work, one low beam headlight does not work, rear windows work sometimes and driver side rear windo does not work a all, ect.
Wiring inside of the headlamp assembly is failing due to insulation that is disintegrating. This is resulting in electrical short circuits that prevent the headlight bulbs from working properly.
We bought a BMW with adaptive headlight error code. After researching it, we found out the fix is extremely expensive ($1200+) and most people report if you even hit a pot hole in road, it will cause it to malfunction again. The lights remain fixed in a incorrect position therefore causing a safety hazard because the road is improperly lit.
