left front parking light error

Hi All,
Just got my 2007 Mini S and love it. One question though. I keep getting a left front parking light error when starting the car. Can anyone tell me how to reset this?

Much Appreciated!

RR

As Mini Me 2009 asked does the bulb light up if not replace it and then the error will go away.

If it does light up then there may be water or something else in the connector causing the bulb checking to not see it properly.

Try to turn the stalk. One click should be parking, two clicks headlights.

I believe you are talking about the "euro" style parking lights; I've been able to get mine to do it by accident. With the car turned off, use the turn signal arm like you are turning on your blinker, but instead of letting it go hold it until you see a steady "green" turn signal displayed on your Tach, then let go. That should be what you are looking for I hope!!
