Diagnosing BMW X1 lighting problems with CARLY?

I own a BMW X1, model year 2011, with a diesel engine and 250,000 km mileage. I'm having problems with the lights and would like to know: Can I use the CARLY app to determine which bulbs are installed in the headlight, e.g., H7 or XENON, and whether a control unit is defective? Does anyone have experience with this or can give me tips?

The CARLY app can help you diagnose some electronic issues and read fault codes, which might indicate if a control unit is defective. However, it won't specify the type of bulbs installed. For bulb type, you can check your vehicle's manual or inspect the headlight assembly directly. If you suspect a control unit issue, look for any error codes related to the lighting system using the app. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you find any error codes.
