Intermittent rear brake light issue

[aimtimes100]

Will a LED retrofit work? I tried a variety of led bulbs in the X and all gave me error codes

I'm not sure if that is solving my problem (while gaining an aesthetic upgrade) or just pushing it onto a new system.

You will never loose contact in those LED taillights as you did on the OEM ones. That is the BEST solution, IMO.

aimtimes100, LED bulbs retrofit will give you error since they do not draw enough power to be registered on the LCM.

I have seen them listed on eBay from Zomk Speed (That name has popped up in other treads related to LED taillights).

Is it truely plug and play on these? I have seen a few posts from as far back as 2008, with some having flickering issues (seems to be 2003 and later E53's). Anyone have a history with the LED tails from which they could report reliability or issues (both with installation and daily use)?

Any info would be helpful, as I need to find a used tail light or procure these in short order.

Thanks

I had them for a while now. No issue or problem at all, installation and daily use.
