Sounds like its your footwell module. They control all the lighting up and dimming of the lights on the car. They also control the Xenon AHL lights. And a new one ain't cheap! Maybe contact United or Tischer BMW for their price.


IF it is your battery - you can check it with a simple VOM (volt ohm meter). Read how many volts the battery is putting out with the engine off and car parked for a few hours(or over night). A good battery should have at least 12.8volts. Anything less and the battery is on its way out. Also check the battery voltage with the engine running. You should have at least 13.4 volts dc.
