Original BMW Adaptive Headlight (AHL) Xenon Driver Module for BMW 5 Series F10 and F07 Gran Turismo (2010–2017)

Adaptive headlights on the 2010–2017 BMW 5 Series F10 sedan and F07 Gran Turismo are run by this Original BMW AHL headlight driver module, the control unit behind the adaptive function of the xenon headlights. BMW names it the headlight driver module for AHL xenon light, AHL being BMW's adaptive headlight system. The module weighs 90 g (0.2 lb), is sold as a single piece, and is made in Germany. BMW's parts data shows production of this number from July 2012, and it replaces the earlier 63-11-7-305-235, a change BMW rates as exchangeable retrospectively. A headlight control module communicates with the car's sensors, switches, and control units to manage how the headlights behave, and this BMW replacement restores adaptive headlight function when the old module fails.

This Original BMW module carries a 24-month parts warranty.

Beyond 63-11-7-305-235, this module also cross-references to 63-11-7-304-905, 63-11-7-279-625, 63-11-7-274-400, and 63-11-7-267-044, so any of those numbers on your old module points to this part. The xenon and AHL wording in BMW's part name matters when choosing, since the module belongs with adaptive xenon headlights. One module covers both the F10 sedan and the F07 Gran Turismo, which keeps ordering simple across the two bodies.

Common Questions

What usually points to a failed AHL module?
When the adaptive headlights stop working, a failed module is the likely cause.

What other warning signs show up?
A headlight can fail to turn on, flicker, or stay stuck on one beam, and a headlamp malfunction warning can appear on the dash. Automatic or adaptive beam functions can also stop working as intended.
