Re: Front lights
Just needs a new bulb each side. It is a diffuser system and called an 'Angel Eye' by most of us, or 'Halo' by BMW.
Unusual to lose both though. Have you had a warning on the dash panel about them?

Re: Front lights
Id check the fuse in the first instance if both have gone of simultaneously.
But as a Rich has mentioned they are just illuminated rings from a single bulb each side.

Re: Front lights
Cheers guys, I get a warning about the rear lights, but I think that's because the previous owner had the led units fitted and I don't think they fitted a cap, I don't get any warning lights about the front, it's just the passenger side but know I know what I am looking at I will have dig in and see what I can find.

Re: Front lights
If you have Xenons then there is an angled cap at the top that just twists out.
