LCI Headlight 'Eyebrows'

hunginator · 10-10-2018, 09:16 AM

Hello!

Couldn't seem to find any threads on this. The eyebrow at the top of the headlight casing for my passenger side has stopped working. This is the horizontal LED/light strip on LCI headlights.

Is this a simple fix? Or do I need to bring it in and have someone/dealer look at it?

I'm not very mechanically inclined but I'm confident in doing 'simple' stuff. For example, I changed out the cabin air filter no problem by myself last week! LOL!

Thanks,
Andrew

hey buddy. not the best answer I know but figured I'd respond. All I know is that these headlights are complicated AF, and unless its something simple like a bulb or fuse being out its prob worth bringing in to BMW or anyone local who does headlight work. I know a lot of companies have popped up who make aftermarket lighting systems and have pretty knowledgeable installers so they would be the ones to help you out but i would steer on the side of caution and not doing yourself unless you're comfortable baking the headlight and disassemble and reassembling. I know I might be to soon to jump the gun but hopefully someone with better knowledge can take a swing at this one...
