Headlamps module

Can somebody help me locate headlamp module, either unit or part #? I retrofitted Xenons on a non-xenon equipped Mini R56, and after a year, something burned in the module. End result is no power in the driver side headlamp. Right now I "borrowed" power from passenger side to make driver side headlamp work. Thanks in advance.

The lighting is controlled by the FRM module. It is in the driver-side footwell. All of the lighting and front windows are controlled by this module.

It is not a simple swappable part. A replacement, used or new, will require a reprogramming with dealer (or equivalent) tools.
