Bulb out warning on dash

Brian mc21 · 05-25-2012, 07:19 AM

Replaced a headlight bulb on a friend s 07 e92 325i but still got the bulb out warning. Do I need to reset something or will this go off on its own.
Thanks.

should go off on its own. Soon as it performs its test on "bootup" the warning goes out if its good. check the contacts on the car for the bulb holder. If they are corroded then you will get sporadic errors like this

^^^

As he mentioned follow that.
If you changed the bulb while car was on, or in ignition mode, you will have to take the key out, and re-start the car again, or in some case, lock / unlock and restart.

Message should disappear if everything is fine.
