Exclamation Help with Lighting System

I am new to owing a BMW. Recently the FRM was replaced and now I have some kind of problem with my headlights. however I cannot figure out everything that needs replaced.
Is there anyone who can help with this based on photos that I have?

For some reason I can't attach the photos, but can email them.

When on Auto, do the outers turn on at night? Auto if coded by default should have the sensor to dictate DRL for inners during Day and Outers for nightime

I can check it again tonight when it is dark because I honestly don't know.

I'll post another photo when it gets dark.

Aren't there 4 "halos" or "angel eyes" that should be lit up?

I don't see an issue. That is how LCI halogens will function when programmed to use the dimmed high beams as DRL.

You can have it programmed to use the angle eyes in all positions as DRL instead

When on Auto - yes the outers come on. Photo is horrible.

It doesn't seem like any halos lights up, and I still have the dash telling me there is a light out and I have checked everything else I can think of..

I went into the settings and changed DRL settings it looks like only the halos on the drivers side are working.
Is this a valid video for replacement

the light out is most likely your Halo bulb. Your lights are setting Auto and sensor for detection of night so you have DRL in the day and low/high beam which is outer at night time
