When purchased, it was discovered that the OE Passenger Side (Right) brake light/indicator housing of this vehicle had melted from the heat of the standard OE halogen brake bulb, causing the brake light to fall out of its placement in the housing. This results in the brake light indicator to emit little or no visible warning to other drivers, since the indicator bulb has fallen down outside of the casing. Because the indicator may not be visible to other drivers, it presents a hazard of others not being warned that I am braking and could result in drivers of other vehicles not being prepared to brake and therefore could result in a collision that can vary from minor fender bender to fatal collision. It could also result in a more devastating vehicle fire that could destroy more than just the indicator housing. It is visible and is reproduced every time...
COMPLAINT SENT. REAR PASSENGER TAIL LAMP BULBS HOUSING IS BURNT AND MELTED NOT ALLOWING BULB TO BE REPLACED CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FROM FIRE AS WELL AS NOT HAVING APPROPRIATE SIGNALING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE WITH A RECYCLED PART AND EACH HAS ARRIVED WITH THE SAME BURNT HOUSING UNIT. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ADDITIONALLY GOOGLED PROBLEMS WITH THE TURNING SIGNAL AND THIS IS SEEN AS A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH THESE TAIL LIGHTS. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/BMW/X5/2008/LIGHTS/EXTERIOR_LIGHTING.SHTML 1.
