EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The front parking lights on your X7 are designed to work together to help other drivers see you at night. But in some cases, one light might not turn on, which could be a problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If one parking light doesn't work, it's harder for other drivers to see you, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the computer system that controls your parking lights, so both lights come on properly – and this repair is free to you.
