Default Headlight "Dipping"...

Great, so I get the "Right Headlight Dipping" error message on my cluster display right before heading out of town last night. So my right headlight is out... Checked Germanpartsonline.com... $147.95?!

So, is there an alternative to spending over $300 on a set of bulbs? What would you guys recommend?

I'm assuming you have Xenon?

I'm also assuming that you have checked your headlight and made sure that it is out and that the connection is OK?

I thought it was the headlight... Until I found THIS.

Soooo... Do the headlights have a relay somewhere?

Remove both bulbs and switch sides.

If the bulb is out, then the problem will now be on the other side. If it is the harness or other connection, the right one will stay dipped.

This was the first thing I was going to try this morning... Rain, all day. [:'(]

So I'll give that a try tomarrow. I appreciate the input.
