    Hi,
    does anybody know if the xenon lights will still work if the gm module
    is removed from the 2003 mini cooper.
    The dealer claims the problem is with the module if the xenon lights
    work intermittently .
    My BMW lights worked without the module while that one was out for repair
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Do you mean the Body Module?

    I would think that if you remove the body module there will be a lot of issues. Lots of things won't work.

    There are things that will not work but I am only interested if the
    headlights will work without the module as they do on my 330i.
    The dealer wants me to install a new module which I did ($1000.) and it did not fix the problem.
    I replaced the igniters from a BMW and the lights work and spend the money
    for nothing.
    So much for BMW/Mini
