CORRECTION
[NEW] Install a Philips H8 AR "longlife" daytime running lamp bulb on both the left and the right sides of the vehicle. Refer to Repair Instructions REP 63 99 155/63 99 156 (Replacing bulb for front left [or right] side light...).
[NEW] For E60 and E61 only, code the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.40 or later. This coding reduces the voltage at the bulb with a corresponding improvement in bulb life.
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
