    2004 325CI bixenon issues

    Hello there. First time posting on this forum see if I can get some different ideas from people here. So I installed Brand new headlights and swapped over my ballasts/ignitors. Bought new bulbs and everything. So first time I plugged them in they work great when cars not running than flicker when car starts. So I programmed the LCM to a different pulse which fixed the issues. Worked great than turned car off back on now the driver lowbeam won't come on at all. I can connect the high beam wire to it and hit the high beams and it turns on. I put a multimeter on the plug and I get nothing. Is the LCM bad? What delivers the voltage to the plug just straight from the LCM? I do have 2 other LCM's and I even tried putting a different one in and it still won't turn on the driver side light anymore. So kind of lost here. Not ballast, not bulb, not ignitor, brand new headlights so no wire issues, multiple LCM's which don't change it. I am at a loss here. Any help or advice would be nice.

    Open the grey electrical box on the back of the headlight unit that has the wires coming out and inspect the internal wiring. There is an issue with their degrading over time.
