BMW 545 owners have reported 2 problems related to exterior lighting (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The wiring inside of the headlights has dried up and fallen off, leaving bare electrical wire. The resulting was both of the headlights became non operational at night. To replace the headlights in the car with all the factory features is about 3200. 00 for parts alone. I know of others who have had this happen, and everyone I know who owns one, has the same exact problem. The vehicle in question barely has 125,000 miles on it. I feel the manufacturer should repair these vehicles at no cost to the owners.

I turned my car on and it immediately warned me that my left read brake lamp was not functioning. To be specific, there were four warning lights one for the reverse lights, one for the brake lamp, and two other ones. All for the left light. I opened it up and immediately observed that the wiring harness plug where the wiring meets the bulb holder had shorted at the ground wire. The two pieces were melded together, suggesting there may have been a small fire. Bits of melted plastic fell all over the place when I managed to finally pull out the plug.
