bulb light symbol

[Singapore stag]

Hi, I have the light bulb symbol come up on the intrument panel. When it does I have noticed that the passenger side indicator stays illuminated, after about 2-3 minutes the symbol dissappears and the indicator is back to normal. This keeps happening everytime I start the car.
Any ideas as to the cause of this?
Rgds,

side light out or high resistance, all BMW's illuminate the indicator constantly on the same side as the sidelight that has failed.

Thanks for the reply, but all lights are working. What is meant by high resistance?

There are 2 bulbs per indicator on the front so it’s easy to miss the fact that one might be blown.

high resistance is usually a corroded bulb base/holder so it reduces the ability of current to flow and light the bulb.
