High beam left failure
Hello all.
Just out of the blue, I had this error. No fiddling with anything apart from plugging in the vsc2 controller and have a dash cam hardwired into the footwell fusebox from day one. Not sure what's happening. I checked the lights and they seem fine. I haven't checked the highbeam assist though. Anything else I should check before I get an appointment with the dealership?

So I am taking it in to have it checked by my SA. The error has stayed but adaptive lights seem to be working. Is it a good idea to unplug by dash cam as it is tapped in to the fuse box? Just in case they blame any failure on this?

I would definitely remove it. If those headlights need to be replaced, they're like $7,500 a set. Literally, all it takes is a voltage drop for something to throw an error code, and if you did something to cause that, it could be the problem. Either that, or its just a wild coincidence.

The other thing is that I have always got "energy management warning" since I got the dash cam installed 6 months ago. That may have to do something with the error. I guess I need to have another look at the power magic settings for battery management as well. Cheers. |

Energy management warning sounds like youre pulling too much power from a fused slot. You likely need to use something thats for accessory, if there is an available slot for that. https://www.bmwpartspros.com/p-bmw-o...lineheadlights

left high beam failure cc message with no actual issue with the lights is just a software error. dealer will be able to take care of it with programming.

I got the dash cam off. Didn't get the vsc2 controller off because I thought it's totally unrelated. They noticed and mentioned it in the vehicle check video. I hope they will not use it as an excuse to refuse warranty. |

Thank you very much. This is very useful. I dropped the car off this morning and told them to consider a software error as well if the lights are all fine. Will wait and see what they say.
