hi there,

i have a 1999 523i. Recently when i turn off my car, i recieve a message saying "check side lights". I turned on my car, checked all lights + side indicators and all seem to be working fine. Also this message does not always come.

Ani ideas

I'd suggest removing the bulb from the side lights and cleaning the contacts and the bulb contacts. You are probably getting some corrosion which increases the resistance the computer sees as it monitors the bulbs. The computer then thinks the bulb is out.
