    More info needed.

    Why do both need to be replaced?

    Are they halogen, Xenon or LED adaptive? LCI model or not?

    @ongarite They are both giving me an error. Passenger side constantly but the other one also from time to time. I'm afraid the car is not going to pass nct because of this.

    They are halogens.

    Thanks

    Most likely due to water ingress into the LCM at the base of the headlight. Common problem with the F10.

    You can buy LCM’s, fit them, but you have to address the cause. Most likely water from somewhere.

    Have you been getting any condensation build up?

    Yes, I've had moisture issues in my headlight assembly, and I've replaced the module twice in the last two years. The first time, everything was fine, but the second time, which was a couple of weeks ago, the mechanic told me that there is a damaged connector inside where the module connects. He said the only option is to either find someone to refurbish the connector or buy a new one. I’ve tried searching for replacement, but I’m not sure which one is correct because the part looks fine in photos, but when I check the part number, it doesn’t match.

    Any suggestions are welcome

    Thanks

    Find a good auto electrician near you who should be able to fix that connection.

    I'd say any Polish mechanic would sort it somehow as well.
