SOURCE: xenon headlight problems

there are 3 things that make the xenon in your car work the bulb, an ignitor, and a control module, you know your bulbs are ok so thats good, now you will want to swap the control modules they are a metal box attached to the headlight assembly its roughly 4"x4" you will remove the hheadlight assemblys to get to the module, there are 4 8mm bolts and then it pulls out, it the light follows the control module then thats what you will need if not you will need an ignigtor, as far as the flickering that is moet likely the module going bad, the company that makes this system is AL (automotive lighting) there is an SIB from BMW about this that says under a warr claim both control modules are to be replaced and the bulb of the faulty headlight, however i cant count the number of times i have done all that and still have to replace the ignigtor, If it is the Ign that is alot harder to swap as you have to dis assembly the entire light assembly

It is hard to remove xenon headlights from BMW x5 and put aftermarkets ones?

If you already have an x5 with original factory fit Xenon headlights, that's the way to leave it. Xenon headlights are a lot more fiddly to install than the old fashioned kind. They can be dangerous to handle, and contain high voltage capacitors that could shock you.

At the end of the day, the odds of you being able to switch out the lights, and do a better job than the factory is pretty slim. Especially as you apparently don't even know where to start.

When you eventually trade your car, its value will be determined by the mileage, vehicle history, condition, and whether or not you have been messing with it. No one wants to buy a car that some enthusiastic amateur has been playing with. People are looking for a good clean vehicle in as close to original condition as possible.

How to replace driverside headlight replacement

I don't know how to replace the headlight replacement, but I can tell you how to replace the bulbs if that is what you want to know. It all depends on if your vehicle is equipped with halogen or xenon bulbs. I am posting instructions for both.

1. Turn the headlamp bulb plastic cap counterclockwise to unlock and remove it
2. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to unlock and remove it (xenon)
3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the bulb terminals (halogen)
4. Unlock the retaining springs and remove the bulb
5. Release the ignitor and remove from the plastic cap (xenon)
6. Turn the high beam lamp socket counterclockwise to unlock and remove it.
Installation is the reverse order of removal.

Xenon : The bulb is situated behind the backing cover on the light and is a clip on cover! remove this cover and the xenon bulb and module will be exposed. turn this unit anti-clock wise direction and it should come out easily. unplug the small wire and replace the bulb and or the small unit that has been removed.

2002 BMW X5 displays on the dash board: SELFLEVEL:SUSP:INACT. What could have caused this and what is the solution?

most likely the air bags (in the suspension) are leaking; if you have xenon lights it could be a programming error in the light module.
