BMW 5 Series: DRL Coding Issue and Headlamp Malfunction

I recently attempted to code some settings in my BMW 5's Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and have since encountered a problem where my low beams are not functioning. The alert I'm receiving indicates a 'Dipped beam right and left failure'. I tried to revert the coding but it didn't resolve the issue. Additionally, I'm experiencing a headlamp leveller malfunction and an error in the lighting system where the low beam doesn't switch on automatically in the dark. Can anyone provide guidance on what might have happened and how I can fix these issues?

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!
