Re: Headlights Halogen REPLACED on an E46 BMW 3 car - problem with orange indicator light (next to headlight)

If changing the bulbs doesn't help, I think it may need a new LCM $$$. But before that, if you have changed the whole headlamp unit , it's worth checking if everything on the headlamp (including level adjuster) is working fine. My indicator stayed lit once when I did my xenon retrofit which I forgot to connect the headlamp.

Any ideas on fixing this problem please advise, thanks in advance
The Problem:- Have replaced the halogen Headlights on an E46 BMW 3 car - problem with orange indicator light (next to headlight)
only problem is have noticed that sometimes the left indicator orange light (next to the headlight powers up) stays lit when putting on the number 1 lights. - It did the same to the right indicator light (next to the headlight) 2 days before when putting on the number 1 lights Both of these 2 problems have never happeneed at the same time ......................for both problems the orange permanently lit indicator light turns off when the number 2 lights are powered on ......................for both problems the orange light works ok as a left or right indicator
from earlier postings I have tried to replace the orange indicator light completely , this helps in that the problem occurs less frequently but nevertheless the problem still seems to occur on start up almost all the time but the indicator light goes off quicker
Have also replaced the whole unit for the problem indicator light, but the original problem still remains but less frequent than before
Previous posts suggest its an earth problem
Any suggestions on how to remove the earth connections behind the indicator light and what not to do?
