Merry Christmas to friends!
Upon returning to LED AE - i have been using LED AE since 4/2009 and been living with flickering AE since then. However, recently my X created a weird problem - driver side hid fog light is changing color (not bulb nor ballast issue). I was just guessing this that and wondering why this happened to driverside and I also was thinking flickering LED AE of driverside. So I pulled the Light Control Module (LCM) out, it looks fine, little dirts. I clean it and making sure everything look good then reinstalled the LCM, turn X lights on, foglight back to normal of the way it should be. Again, I think about LED AE flickering may cause this problem? Oh i hate guessing this and that, and finally i decide not to use LED AE and installed OEM halogen AE.
I am not sure about your LED AE but in my case, i don't want anymore troubles.
I talked about this with TwinsPoppa couple days ago and i was thinking to replace new LCM to see my hid foglight will be better or not.

In order to make LED AE lights work without error, they built canbus for angel eye LED bulbs and that contains built-in resistor to "fool" X5 light checking error. Not sure if this creates "weird" problem to my foglight and LCM or not, however, for now, don't feel safe if i keep LED AE for my X.
