Car won't start after headlight replacement
I have a 2007 335i with hid headlights...one went out, so I replaced it. I hooked it up just to see if it would work, started the car, both headlights on, off, on, good deal. Turned the car off, unplugged the bulb, fastened it into it's original position, hooked it back up, got in the car and the motor doesn't even begin to crank. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?

Tap on the starter motor with a breaker bar or long extension and see if it cranks over. The starter might have gone bad.

Check your battery cable behind the glovebox while you're at it, if it doesn't even go into accessory mode.
