Odd E82 Headlight Issue

I have recently noticed an odd issue with my driver side headlight.

When turning, if I accelerate fairly hard out of the corner it flickers on and couple of times and then stays on. It has happened a few times going straight from a stop but much less frequently

It does not happen in park regardless of how hard I rev the engine, nor does it ever happen if I come out of a corner without being aggressive on the throttle.

I can't seem to duplicate it on demand which makes troubleshooting quite challenging.

It's a 2012 128i without adaptive headlights. Just wondering if anyone else has run into something similar.

Swap the bulbs. See if it changes sides. That would be my first step at least. 👍

Both DRLS not turning on

Hello,
I recently bought this 2011 BMW 135i, Both side Angle Eyes do not turn on and just low beams turn on when in any lighting setting. I was wondering if buying the LUX angle eyes would fix this problem and the Drls would start working or if there is something to do with coding. Or would this be a problem with the Headlight Ballast, I assume not because both sides do not turn on.
Any help is appreciated, Thank you

Nice ride. First . Pull for codes if any. Do you have any warning lights on the dashboard?
