Failure Date: 09/01/2019

All wires leading into the headlights have deteriorated and are bare. It keeps shorting out the lights and seems to be a major fire hazard. This is a garage kept car with 80k miles. Appears many many others have the same problem. Please help.

2 Headlights problem of the 2006 BMW M5

Failure Date: 07/10/2013

Headlight went off while driving, when I went to replace the bulb discovered that all the wiring inside the headlights have the insulation crumbling off causing exposed bare wires to short together. This is unacceptable on a car that is only 7 years old. I researched on the internet and found that is a common problem on Bmws. If your warranty expired BMW will not fix it. This is especially dangerous at night went the headlight start to flicker on and off.
