You can identify a burned-out bulb in your BMW 2 Series using these signs:

✔ Dashboard Warning Light: BMWs have a bulb failure warning on the dashboard, alerting you to a malfunctioning light.
✔ Uneven Lighting: If one headlight, taillight, o r indicator is dimmer o r not working, the bulb is likely burned out.
✔ Flickering Lights: A flickering bulb is a sign it is about to fail.
✔ No Reflection on Surfaces: If your headlights o r taillights don’t reflect properly off nearby cars o r walls, a bulb may be out.
✔ Testing Manually: To check manually, turn on all lights headlights, brake lights, indicators, and fog lights and walk around the car to spot any non-functioning bulbs.

🔧 Solution:

If the dashboard warning light appears, check which bulb is malfunctioning.
Replace the faulty bulb immediately to ensure safety and avoid fines.
If multiple bulbs fail at once, check the electrical system for issues.
