Do xenon bulbs get dimmer over time?
The short answer is yes, they do. Both LED and Xenon HIDs will lose up to 70% of their original light output gradually over time. For LED’s and HID’s, the degradation (dimming) of the light intensity is very slow and gradual, it’s like watching hair grow.
Why do I have a dipped headlight on one side?
If you only change one or the other, you do run the risk that you’ll have to replace it again due to damage that occurred. If you are getting this issue only on one side, i.e. Dipped Headlight Left or Dipped Headlight Right, then this is a big clue for troubleshooting.
When do BMW adaptive headlights turn off high beam?
BMW adaptive headlights will also turn off the left high beam when a vehicle is detected on the incoming traffic lane. In vehicles with xenon adaptive headlights, the fog lights will be turned on at slow speeds when turning left and right.
What happens when you remove the adaptive headlight module?
When deleting BMW adaptive headlights, you must manually perform headlight adjustment so that the low beams point in the proper direction. Physically removing the adaptive headlight module does not delete BMW adaptive headlights. Removing the module without coding the car will result in an adaptive headlight error on the dashboard.
Why are my bi-xenon HID low beams not working?
2. My HID Bi-Xenon high beams or low beams are not working or are inverted. This is a similar issue as above, the polarity of the connector’s pins are not correctly aligned. Bi-Xenon HID kits have 3 pins on the harness connector for ground, low beam and high beam connections. You will need to release the pins inside the connector and reorder them.

Why is one side of my HID light not working?
Only one side is working on my HID kit or LED kit. If one side sometimes doesn’t turn on it could be caused by a bad bulb, HID ballast, LED driver or wiring. To help identify which component is defective follow these steps. Swap the ignitors to opposing sides (not applicable for LED kits). If the problem is reversed, you might have a bad ignitor.
How do you reverse polarity on LED headlights?
To reverse polarity on LED headlights, you simply rotate the connector which plugs to your vehicle’s factory harness by 180 degrees. This problem is unrelated to the HID kit or LED Kit. It is an issue with the vehicle’s factory wiring orientation.
What’s the difference between HID ballast and LED driver?
The HID ballasts or LED drivers are the two metal boxes that came with your kit. To perform this test, please swap your HID ballast or LED driver to opposing sides and note what happens to your kit. Swap the HID or LED bulbs to opposing sides.
