same thing happened to me. I just replaced the bulb and it worked fine. I have an e90 lci and when you look at the headlight, right on the top there should be 3 small screws that you unscrew and you can get to that light. forgot what kind of bulb but it's easy to search.

I'm having the same issue. Where did you purchase your bulb from and what exactly is the name of the OEM bulb? I know it's a H3 type of bulb, but I want to make sure I get the original stock bulb and not an aftermarket. Thanks.

Also never done any work on the car personally, is this truly a easy DIY?

Thanks for the response! Sounds good. I just heard that some aftermarket bulbs throw codes and it needs to be a certain wattage...so I thought I would ask.

Nice! What color would you say the 7500s are? White-ish blue or white?
