Headlight ORing & Headlight

Hello everyone,

I notice today that my passenger side brings don't come on. I'm not sure if there's a light bulb for that or not. I also took a picture of the headlights right now so I can upload it and show you guys. I notice I'm missing a few more lights not turning on. I just don't know what bulbs I need to replace . Any help please would be helpful.

I took this picture with the engine off just a heads up. my headlights not matching up so please help me get them to match up I just need to know the names of the sections I need to change. I need I need to upgrade the angel lights. Is there a bulb for the eye brows? I only have one blue. Not sure if im missing anything else.

So just a quick update I think I found where the angel lights bulb goes. I really need to know where is the eyebrow bulb that's above the rings goes.

So I open up the hood and I see the first angel light bulb on the driver side.

if only the passenger side was that easy. The passenger side don't have the bulb right on top not sure where its located or if its under the fender.

this is the front

I was planing on ordering the white angel eye lightbulbs to upgrade it but I need to know where the angel eye light bulb is located on the passenger. I have a 2013 BMW Z4

Something seems very odd..I have a pre LCI E89..it has two headlights that both have the access port on the top to get to the DRLs..the main bulbs are accessed through the front inside mudguard ..there’s a fairly crappy access door in each mudguard at the front..

It looks like as if you have two different headlights ..one pre LCI and one post LCI?

Here’s a pre LCi engine bay showing DRL access ports which use H9 bulbs

Yea I'm starting to think it's two diff headlights. Because they should both have quick access on top but one don't. I could get in the back panel on the passenger side thru the back but driver side its from the front of the hood
