I CHECKED THE FORUMS AND OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHTS 2004-2010 5 SERIES WERE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE.  BMW IS NOT OFFERING A TSB OR A RECALL FOR THIS.  THE LIGHTS IN THIS CASE ARE THE BI-XENON ADAPTIVE LIGHTS.  IT APPEARS THE HEAT CREATED BY THE HID UNIT IS CAUSING THE WIRES TO BECOME BRITTLE.  I EMAILED BMW USA DIRECTLY AND I WAS JUST REFERRED TO A DEALER.  FOR THE TIME BEING I HAVE WRAPPED THE WIRING IN ELECTRICAL TAPE UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE EACH UNIT.  I AM AFRAID TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BLOW ANYMORE BULBS, SHORT OUT MY LIGHTING SYSTEM OR POSSIBLY EVEN START A FIRE.  I HAVE CONSIDERED DOWNGRADING THE TYPE OF LIGHTING SYSTEM IN MY CAR BUT THAT WOULD ENTAIL HAVING TO REWIRE THE CAR AND REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE NEW TYPE OF LIGHTING.   *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2006","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"530I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
