BMW X5 Lighting Issue: No Power to R/H Low Beam and L/H Angel Eyes
Summary of the thread
A 2008 BMW X5 is experiencing a lighting issue where the right-hand low beam and left-hand angel eyes are not receiving power, despite bulb replacement. The problem might be linked to a short circuit, as indicated by fault codes 009CBB and 00E598. Suggested solutions include checking and replacing any blown fuses and resetting or replacing the Footwell Module (FRM) using a BMW-specific diagnostic tool. If unsure, consulting a professional mechanic is advised to avoid further complications.

Check the fuses related to the lighting system first, as a blown fuse could cause the power issue. If the fuses are intact, inspect the light control module (LCM) for any faults, as it might need resetting or replacement. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!

Yes, the Footwell Module (FRM) controls the lighting system in your BMW. To reset it, you typically need a diagnostic tool like BMW's ISTA or a similar OBD-II scanner that supports BMW-specific functions. If you're not comfortable doing this, I recommend having a professional mechanic handle it, as incorrect handling can lead to further issues. Let me know if you need more guidance or if you have any other questions!
