X7 crystal DRL nightmare,fogging and not dancing

[funbird55]

Help help help! We have an lci2 X7 40d with iconic glow crystal headlights, when the car was new we could lock and unlock…. With the key and had a 30 to 40 second twinkle dance, however 4 months down the line we have severe condensation, crap building around the crystals and when unlocking/locking the the lights go straight on, no dance or twinkle. BMW dealer has said the twinkle only happens on walk up to or away comfort locking, which I think is crap, they used to dance when using the key. They even ordered and received new crystal drls and was going to fit, but bmw said actually they all mist up😩😩😩 but now we even start the car and we get ‘drl failure’ please can somebody with these drls try unlocking the car with the key and see if they do their merry dance, oh and allegro andante and adagio do bugger all as well, but ok on the back. We are currently on idrive 11/2023.73, so well up to date. Cheers all

"DRL failure" - there needs to be update done for the headlight SW, this is done straight from the manufaturer of headlights. Should be done in service with your prefered dealer.
