BMW 5 Series: DRL Coding Issue and Headlamp Malfunction
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a BMW 5 Series experiencing issues with the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) after an attempt to code settings, resulting in a 'Dipped beam right and left failure' and headlamp leveller malfunction. Possible causes include blown fuses, burned-out bulbs, or incorrect coding. Suggested solutions involve checking the fuses and bulbs, and using a diagnostic tool to scan for error codes to identify any complex electrical problems.

Start by checking the fuses related to the low beams and headlamp levelling system, as a blown fuse could cause these issues. If the fuses are intact, inspect the headlight bulbs to ensure they haven't burned out. If both fuses and bulbs are fine, there might be an issue with the coding or a more complex electrical problem. Consider using a diagnostic tool to scan for error codes that could provide more insight. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
The problem is that although an error is displayed, everything works perfectly.

Try performing a system reset by disconnecting the car battery for about 15 minutes, then reconnecting it. This can sometimes clear false error messages. If the issue persists, it might be a software glitch, and you may need to have the vehicle's software checked by a professional. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
