Interior LED Accent Lights DEAD

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
LED’s in the inside of the front driver and front year driver door are DEAD on a 2019 x5. Luckily I have the bmw extended warranty.

I know it will be covered- but I was surprised. Anyone else have this happen to them?

It likely will be covered since it is probably a module but lights, LED, bulbs, etc. are not covered but the Extended/Vehicle Service contract.

We have seen a similar problems off and on, I think most often something unplug as they work in a chain.

Good luck and let us know what not turns out to be.

I was told that LED headlights are covered because of the projector or if you have laser lights the extended will always kick in. I really have to think about the future after a warranty and if it’s not a better idea to grab an LCI.

But we will see about these accent lights- I hope you’re right about the module. The way it “broke”- we were changing the color for the kids from blue to green. Bam- they just stopped working in real time.

Check your contract, lights, laser, bulbs etc. should be listed under exclusions. Here is the wording from the latest T&C.

Bulb isn’t covered but the assembly was. I already used it.

Here’s hoping these interior led is what you said! It won’t be the end of the world if I have to repair and pay. My biggest worry is always powertrain obviously

It was the LED light in the doors- no coverage. But also not terribly expensive.

Good to hear you got it fixed and it wasn't too bad. Enjoy!
