Hi all,

I had to have my 318ti jump started this morning as it hadn't been run for 2 or 3 months as it needed repairs.

Long story short, after having the car jump started I took it for a drive to recharge the battery. I happened to be driving through a tunnel when I noticed that all of the lights on my dash went out. The rear lights also no longer work, although my brake lights do, and the interior lights around the electric window and sunroof no longer illuminate either.

Anyway, I have researched this online and understand that it's likely to be the headlight switch assembly that's at fault. My question is, how easy is this to replace? I haven't been able to locate any tutorials on how it's done so any advice would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.
