FAILURE OF THE "MUSTARD COLORED RELAY" CAUSES TAIL LIGHTS TO INTERMITTENTLY SHUT OFF. FAILURE OF THE LKM INTERMITTENTLY CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF. MANY BMW E32(735,740,745,750 MODELS) OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, WE HAVE A WEB PAGE WHERE 7 SERIES OWNERS DISCUSS PROBLEMS AND FIXES TO THEIR CARS ON A DAILY BASIS, THERE IS A SEARCH FEATURE ON THE WEB PAGE AND YOU CAN SEE THE VARIOUS TIMES AND COMMETNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.BRESZLAND.COM/BMW-7ER/, IT REALLY CAN BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AT THE GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL BEFORE FATALITIES DO HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THESE PROBLEMS. RIGHT NOW, EACH OWNER IS PAYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IS RATHER UNFAIR.
