BMW 530i Fuse Problem
Answer
You need to check the continuity at the plug where the headlight connects. Hook up a voltmeter to the plug and see if there is any power getting to the plug. Also make sure that the wiring leading up to the plug isn't broken/worn causing a short.
Check the headlight fuses as well. Are they HID lights? If so then the ballast or the connector could of gone out. You can swap out ballasts and connectors from the other side, and if they turn on when you replace the connector/ballast then you know what your culprit is.
Good luck!
I think the fuse locations for the headlights are 9 and 32 inside the car? Maybe under the hood, its been a while.
Is there a special headlight we need to get or is the one from wal mart going to be sufficient. also the headlights were working just last night and when they went out the low beam was out and the high beam was working. Now neither of them will work and we have to go back out of town in a few hours. So basically you think its the plug or wiring issue....right?
Check the fuses... Do you have HID lights? The bulb replacement should be fine. It sounds to me like the ballasts or ignitors are out.
