Now if I could just get to the bottom of my LCM problems:
Quote:
After HID upgrade, instrument panel is at ~50% brightness and not responding to dimmer wheel. It also periodically flashes "CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS," "CHECK REAR LIGHTS," when headlights are on, though both are fine. Tail lamps are from a facelifted E53 I believe, and have been installed for nearly three years. The only problem I've encountered with them is that the brake light section is lit at full intensity, even when only headlights are on. Rear lamp section operates at full intensity when brakes are applied. Swapping single-filament for dual-filament makes no difference. Not sure if adaptive brake lights work. I've learned to live with it.
HIDs are D2S bulbs attached to ballasts powered by stock H7 connectors.
Coronas are LED, powered by positive battery terminal in engine compartment, triggered by parking light output wire on LCM. I had the same (plus additional) problems when they we were triggered by corner lamps.
If the fix is a new LCM, which one is the appropriate one to solve all the problems? E53 halogen, E53 xenon, E53 LCI halogen, or E53 LCI xenon?
No auto leveling sensors installed, though I do have the motors.

That's also from my list of problems I'm giving to my service guy tomorrow, but it's low priority. I've got to get my oil pressure/leaks taken care of.
