The reasons for the BMW Angel Wings welcome lights not working are: 1. The bulb is dirty or damaged; 2. There is an issue with the wiring or plug connection; 3. A fault in the control unit. The BMW Angel Wings welcome lights refer to the light strips projected below the doors when they are opened, providing convenience for entering and exiting the vehicle in low-light environments. Taking the BMW 5 Series 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm. The BMW 5 Series 2021 model is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 135kw and a maximum torque of 290nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

That day, my friend's BMW Angel Eyes lights suddenly stopped working, which really killed the vibe. We looked into it, and the most common causes are a blown fuse or aging bulbs. BMW's design for these lights is pretty cool, but they can be prone to minor issues, like loose connections in the door lock switches or bugs after a system software update. Excessive current can also cause the fuse to blow, so first check the manual to locate the fuse. If it's a burnt-out bulb, replacing it with a new LED can solve the problem—no need to rush to spend money at the dealership. I've also heard that cold weather can cause wiring issues in winter, so it's good to dry the door edges thoroughly when washing the car. While these lights not working doesn't affect driving, losing that welcoming effect is a bit of a shame.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make a Clicking Sound When Turning?

There are several reasons why the steering wheel may make a clicking sound when turning: 1. Friction between plastic parts: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic. In winter, when temperatures are low, the plastic hardens, which may cause a squeaking sound during use. This is normal friction. 2. Noise from within the steering wheel: If the squeaking sound comes from inside the steering wheel when turning, it may be caused by the clock spring (airbag coil). Remove the steering wheel's airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If the squeaking continues, the clock spring may be damaged and needs to be replaced. 3. Aging of the tie rod end ball joint: If the vehicle has been used for a long time, the tie rod end ball joint may age, causing the steering wheel to shake or make noise when turning. In this case, the tie rod end ball joint usually needs to be replaced, followed by a four-wheel alignment. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar: After checking the vehicle's shock absorbers to rule out noise from them, inspect the stabilizer bar bushings for looseness or damage. If the bushings are loose, they may also cause noise when turning. This can often be fixed by adding shims, but if the bushings are damaged, they must be replaced to avoid affecting normal steering operation.

Within the validity period of the three-guarantee (the validity period is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first), if the cumulative repair time exceeds 35 days, or the cumulative repairs caused by the same product quality problem exceed 5 times, the consumer can exchange the car. Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving (whichever comes first), if the family car product experiences steering system failure, braking system failure, body cracking, or fuel leakage, the consumer can choose to exchange the family car product or return it, and the seller shall be responsible for free exchange or return. Within the validity period of the three-guarantee, if serious safety performance faults have been repaired twice cumulatively, and the serious safety performance faults have not been eliminated or new serious safety performance faults occur; if the engine or transmission has been replaced twice cumulatively, or the same main component of the engine or transmission has been replaced twice due to quality problems and still cannot function normally (the replacement counts for the engine, transmission, and their main components are not duplicated); if the same main component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been replaced twice due to quality problems and still cannot function normally, the consumer can choose to exchange or return the car, and the seller shall be responsible for exchange or return. If the family car product meets the exchange conditions, but the seller does not have a same-model family car product of a different brand or a family car product with a configuration not lower than the original car to exchange for the consumer, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller shall be responsible for the return. 2. If the repair exceeds 5 days, the owner has the right to use a spare car:
