    Help! 2013 BMW 328iX with corroded headlight connector

    Hi, does anyone know the part number for the headlight connector plug for a 2013 BMW 328iX with halogen lights?

    The left low beam has malfunctioned.
    I replaced the bulb and checked the fuses which are OK, but it is still not working.

    I checked the headlight plug and found it significantly corroded.

    Please see the attached pictures of the corroded connector,
    and an image of a clean connector and it's plug location.

    I can't find this part at any parts store or oem catalog.

    Thank you guys.

    Is this it?
    Visit dealer or order online at an online dealer with that part number and rebuild the plug.

    I thought about this further...

    One way for that damage to happen is if you had water entry into the headlight. The plug is watertight itself when connected in fully.

    Are the large covers (these seal them from water entry) missing on your headlights? Water entry probably caused more damage to the headlight pins too.

    You may need to replace the headlight if that is true. You do not want shorts to happen there. That's how vehicle fires start.
