Hmm, well I initially I had issues with my lights going off but it was related to the grounding wire on my boat trailer.

I also had converted to LED trailer lights on mine and had issues as all of this happened at once (new controller, new car, new lights). I went through each and every connection and removed old connectors and put new ones on and then used a grease to coat it (I had to do this on my old MGB to keep it's electrical connectors from corroding) so thought I'd try it on the boat trailer. I have a 2000 Four Winns boat and their trailer and while it's a garage queen I know that dunking the trailer over the years is going to result in wear and tear and it was time to give it's electrical a thorough once over.

Otherwise it works all good now.

The dealer has had the car on 4, 5, or 6 different days (lost count) and cannot solve the issue. BMWNA claims to have never heard of the issue and has not been helpful at all.
Anyone have ideas?
