So i'll need to find out which wire was removed and replace it back in to original pin to see if effects LED headlights functionality.
High beam flashes/flickers for 3-5 seconds soon as you start the car too. Otherwise the headlights work 100% fine. Strange why I have all the issues but I suspect with my car being 2008, X5 35D with a complete X5M retrofit which originally came with halogens, my scenario is pretty unique.
I might have a look over BMW WDS to source the colour wire for reverse light and get that sorted first.
Oh, my headlight switch still has front and rear fog light so I'm not sure if that wants changing hence why the error shows for front fog lights? I was even considering putting the bulbs on the sockets behind the bumper and tying them back  |
Who are you having assist you with coding? Jeff (UCrewX5) knows of a very good person who I also used in coding my vehicle, perhaps he could try and assist you as well?
Was your new FRM coded with the VIN of your car and vehicle order (without fog lights) was coded to the new FRM?
Yes I agree that your scenario is interesting. I almost would advise you using the older LED Retrofit instructions as most of us have used the older instructions without any issue.
You should definitely be able to de-code the fog lights without issue.
