Lightbulb warnings

The other half came home last night with a face like thunder because her e90 was throwing all sorts of error codes for her lights:

cc id 89 (dipped main beam right failure)
cc id 122 (indicator front right failure)
cc id 125 (indicator rear right failure)
cc id 128 (left high beam failure)
cc id 129 (rear fog light failure)
cc id 131 (parking light left front failure)
cc id 133 (right rear light failure)

The only ones that aren't working are the left parking light and the right rear light. Any idea why they would all go nuts? Indicators are going wild too.

Thanks

Problem with the FRM perhaps?

Lights

Hi
I recently had a similar nightmare... I ended up changing the rear bulb holders and cleared the fault codes with a Carly coder. All fine now. They're prone to corroding and are cheap from BMW. My issue was soldered in faulty bulbs, but that's another story...

Pull them out and check for corrosion around the bulb fittings. Incidentally, my car showed faults with the front lights when the issue was at the rear.

Auto electrician says it's the FRM. Does anyone know where to get them? Or what they actually do?

Dead FRM on the e90 and now a dead e92 as well. Today hasn't been a good day.
