Headlights problems of the 2011 BMW 528

The contact owns a 2011 BMW 528i. The contact stated that the driver’s side headlight housing had an excessive amount of moisture inside. The vehicle failed to start. The daytime and parking light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Headlight wiring is shorting out due to the plastic coating on the wiring degrading. This issue is currently only affecting the daytime running lights but has caused a short in the headlight system which, without repair, will eventually affect the headlights. This is a serious safety concern because a short in one headlight can lead to a failure of the entire system leaving me without headlights. This issue is apparently caused by wiring which degrades in higher heat which should never have been installed in a headlight assembly.
