Angel eye woes

Hi guys, hoping someone can help

I have a pre lci 335i and the angel eye lamp went out on the passenger side a while back, tried changing the bulb with one from halfords, ended up buying one from bmw as none of them are lighting
There would appear to be no voltage going to that one lamp, is there anything else it can be?

Sorry mate, without seeing any fault codes I would guess the symptoms you are seeing are as a result of a short circuit. There is a counter and when the max is reached the counter needs to be reset. It's not uncommon.

To confirm read the fault codes with a BMW spec diagnostic tool of your choice.

Could it possibly be the module that fires it up that sits underneath the headlight stopping power to the light itself ?
