Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of BMW 335

Left headlight control module unit for xenon bulb stopped working on 2007 BMW 335i which caused the low beam xenon headlight bulb to go out at night. Many other BMW owners are reporting the same problem on the same side (left). Type in BMW 335i headlight control module and someone posting that their left side went out, is the first hit on google and many other posts I have seen also state the left side control module failed and their left headlight went out. It is a safety issue and a consumer protection issue as the cost to replace is $1100+.

Adaptive head light system failure while driving down the interstate. This is the third time the unit had been replaced within 4 years and under 65k miles. Every time this was a non aggravated issue and not covered by the dealer. Furthermore, while driving the car around a corner at a moderate rate of speed I noticed the car making an abnormal noise. Upon pulling over and inspecting further, it was found to be a shredded belt which had thrown itself everywhere inside the engine bay. Once it was towed to be repaired, it was discovered that the power steering pulley contacted the front bar and, breaking the pulley in half, causing it to have sharp edges which directly cut the belt in half and resulted in the belt being wrapped around the pulley and various engine components. There is not enough clearance as a result of a factory/manufacturer defect and now I am out on the bill.
