Unhappy Selflevel Suspension Inactive Porblem + AngelIbrights

Hello everyone!
I want to share a problem that I've experienced on my 4.8 for the last three weeks now....
When the warning light first appeared I took the car in to the dealer, they did some tests and got it back 2 days later. Apparently the guys @ the dealer cleaned some connector and the warning light dissapeared. A couple of days later the darn thing reappred once again. I took it back to the dealer and this time they informed me that the problem was being cuased by a faulty suspension control unit. They ordered the part and two weeks later the part comes in (I live in Guatemala so things are kinda slow when they have to be ordered from overseas) they proceed to install it, do some tests and I get the car back last monday in the afternoon. Last night the freaking warning light show up yet again So today I made another visit to the dealer, but this time they are telling me they need to remove the AngelIbrights because that could be causing the problem in the first palce I agreed to this but I sent in the guy that installed the Ibrights on my X5 since he used to work @ that dealership and now works for the family business. This whole thing has been nothing bout a big pain. My X has only 12,800 kms. I've read that some other memebers have had issues like this but were able to solve it once the module was replaced. Could the Ibrights be causing this???
Dave if you are reading my post Have your heard of this???
Help is appreciated guys!!!
I'll have an update later in the afternoon.....

I went to the dealer in the am. They are putting back the oem bulbs. Apparently the warning light is gone and they are recommending that I never install the ibrights again. I should be getting the car back in the aftrernoon...
What puzzles me is that I had them on for over 4 months without the warning light showing, but I noticed flickering when I started the car every morning...could this be really the problem (Paging Dave!!!)

I don't know if my problem interests any one but I have an update....I just got the car back form the dealer without the warning light (sans ibrights). I'm gonna test it out for a week. If this solves my issue I owe the dealer the equivalent of 4 hours of labor I got a message from Dave saying that the ibrights are not the cause of the warning light, I agree but I guess I don't have any choice but to try what the dealer suggested
