| My brake lights were out. bmw has indicated that both sockets have melted to the point that they can't remove anything without breaking things. i did some research online and found that people have had this same thing and fires have started. worth investigating! | |||

| A brake lamp malfunction light came on the dash board for, at first the left brake light, then later the right brake light. i opened the panel to replace the bulbs only to find that in both sides, the brake light housings were melted because the bulbs were so hot. the taillight housing were burned black and melted. this was less than an inches from the electrical wiring. i was surprised there wasn't a fire inside both panels. as goodwill, and to retain my loyalty, bmw of alexandria replaced both at no charge. each assembly cost $500, and i needed two. customers should check to ensure this is not happening in their car before it is too late. *tr | |||
