Hi, Help please.

I really want my spot light to work. I did read a post regarding this topic but I still can't get it to work. I know there is a plug behind the steering column light stock, I checked, it's pluged in. I tried tracing the H4s lamp wire but can't see where it goes. Anyone knows anything other than that?

spot light?

which light are you talking about?

The light on the lower part of the head lamp. Not the fog light on the bumper. The H4 bulb. Apparrently, the steering light stalk control the spot lights, but mine just turn the markers on. But when i use my high beam, both the high and spot light will turn on.

I guess you get the 03 headlights, It seems the previous owner changed the wire and link it to the aftermarket fog light on bumper.

Please classfied, when you turn on the second switch on your steering light stalk (the one inside) what's happen?

BTW, it is usually called driving light.

I don't have any fog lights on the bumper. When i turn the switch on, only the side marker (the 5W bulb which runs from top of the head lamp to the bottom on each side) turn on. No lights.

Chris where in the passenger door you are talking? do I need to talk anything off? I don't see anything from the outlook of the door.

Flying,

I think Chris means ... Look for the purple import plate that has been riverted to the passenger side intrusion bar/door area (open the passenger side door and u can see it). :cool:

I have 4 levels of lighting on both my v35s. parker, yellow halogen driving light, xenon headlamps, then highbeam. Thats normal right?

I think all that 4 different lighting are standard on our car, but now I'm missing the yellow halogen driving light you are refering to. So mine's not normal!

Oh, I don't find any purple plate there but I found a dark red sticker under the bonnet and it wrote it was complied by IAMSHE Pty Ltd

that tells me whose sheets he used. pull the stalk off and pop the back off of it. there will be a 3 pin plug on it that snakes back into the stalk. check that it is plugged in on both ends.

Hi Chris,

Just did that, pull out everything, both ends are plug in. What other problem can it be?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
