BMW Xenon Headlight and Ballast Replacement

This is for my e90 335i (2007) but is a similar process for a number of BMWs. I first replaced the xenon bulb but that didn't fix the problem so I knew my ballast was also bad. In this how to, we go through all the steps plus inspection diagnosis for making this fix. The dealer will charge you a lot for this simple job, you can save a lot by doing it yourself.
Ballast: amzn.to/2RwrsFW
Xenon Bulb: amzn.to/2J8n2Bd

I always thought you have to program new ballast on BMW’s. Apparently it’s not :) what if I replace adaptive module, small one on the bottom of the headlight. No programing required as well? Thanks

This is why I unplugged my halo lights.

Do you still get the error message on iDrive if it is only the bulb that is the problem? Or anytime the light isn't coming on, regardless of the bulb or ballast?

Question, my driver side low beam goes out every time after about 30 min of driving .. when I leave the car overnight, it works fine again for 30 minutes and then cuts out.. does this sound like bulb or ballast issue??
