Warning when a bulb is out?

Is there supposed to be a check control message or other warning when a bulb is out? One of my tail lights is out but there's no message.

Thanks!

No warning light for the bulbs.

Yes there is, according to my manual on page 139 there is a "Bulb of exterior lighting system failed" failure icon.

On my wifes X3, there was an indicator. I am sure BMW carried that over to this newer car.

On the one hand, I'd like to think there's a warning light - I mean, out of all the things to skimp on, they'd pick that?

On the other hand, if there is one, then my car doesn't have just a tail light out, something else is wrong as well.
