2004 BMW 330I Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1143081
Internal NHTSA #	10668419
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	330I
Model Year	2004
File date	15/07/14
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Bi-xenon projector headlights have very poor illumination output and are unsafe. Apparently, the unit uses a plastic reflective bowl that burns over time due to the heat of the light bulb therefore losing its reflectibility. The standard halogen fog lamps in the lower bumper must be used as headlights because of the almost non existent output of the actual headlights. The only thing the bi-xenons are good for at this point is showing that a light is indeed on so that the police wont issue a citation. But as far as illuminating the road, they do not.
