Help!! Regarding "dead" angel eye
My new to me, 07 335i has the passenger side angel eyes out. I thought maybe the bulb was dead, but after swapping that "dead" bulb to the driver side it worked fine. What else could be the cause of why my pass side isnt lighting up?

This is nonsense. The H8 bulb has nothing to do with the D1s bulb. OP, check the wiring, make sure the plug is securely plugged in. It's the harness the H8 plugs into, it has one brown and one yellow wire.

I looked at it and the bulb had one yellow wire going into the harness, which went to the main harness and had a brown a yellow and a ground, all were secure. Anything else it could be?

Check the bulb prongs inside, and make sure they line up with the connector. Also make sure the polarity is correct, and flip the plug if it isnt.

Would aftermarket angel eyes like lux solve the issue or the issue could be totally unrelated.

Looks like youre not getting power to the yellow wire. Check the prong for the corresponding wires in the harness that plugs into the light to ensure that they're not bent.

Then there must be something wrong with your harness if there is no power there. Did you use an electrical probe to confirm? Also, did you plug in the bulb from the other side to see what happened?
