the question is about the programming - there is a line in the LCM programming code that states "LED taillights - nicht active"... I don't remember exact spelling at this moment, i would need to dig up the old file to look it up, but...

I wonder if there is a member who has the LED tail lights took them off the 3.0 before I sold it, does not have a capacitor I don't need it for pre-facelift (or can remove the capacitor rather easy) and is able to use NCSExpert I can, could change the line in the programming code to see if the LEDs will stop flickering AND will retain the BFD ability...

Any takers?
