the lights are flickering due to several things, one of them being cold and hot monitoring of the circuit and also that your brake lights are equipped with Brake Force Distribution system, which increases the brightness of the brake lights in case of HARD braking.

you need to disable those lines inside the LCM module, which requires NCS Expert programming. Not sure if your local dealer will assist you in this. Try to locate more information on the NCS Expert programming, once you learn more and still have questions, come back...

the capacitors and resistors should have reduced your flickering, and eliminate the warning message... did you try other values for a resistor and capacitor?

Thanks so much for rapid reply TerminatorX5. OK I will check LCM module but I don't know my local dealer(I live in South KOREA now.) can programming, maybe not. Yes I installed various values cap and resistor but flicker still remain. This flicker is not cold monitoring. The flicker is worse when I on head light, front fog lamp and sometimes flicker is weakened. I made other ground line(2 gauge thick line) from main frame chassis and connected, I did everything that I can. It is not possible to surmise in a word. Going crazy really.

My local dealer said that my led tail light is made by eagle eye company(Taiwan company) and suitable with e53 X5 2001-2006.
But my led tail light is different from eBay and this forum. The harness line is different. The left picture is my led tail light style, right picture is eBay.

If you look closely, you'll see that my led tail light and selling led tail light on eBay are different from each other. Anyone install eBay style led tail light on after 2005 e53 X5?
