^I don't have the one from Bimmian. I get the Made-in-China one on eBay for $45
The cylinder looking thing is the head sink for the LED. I place it outside the housing.

Aren't they all made in China even if you buy the Bimmian one for 3x the price


ArmyX5, any kind of warranty from Bimmian? (I expect at least 1 year)

tmv,

I have had the $45 made in china for a least two years now with no problem. I was looking for something brighter which, the weisslicht seem to be.

Ricky,

I am going give them another try. I rechecked all the connection after turning the lights off and letting it cool down, they are working again. I am placing the cylinder outside and see what happen.

Man that sucks mine have been running strong for over a year on 2 different x5s!!
Id give them a call the are very helpfull and sure they will make things right..
The plastic cylinder thing is anti flicker no error device.. I just tuck it back in the tub away from the light..
Maybe defective? Maybe too close to the aluminum heat sink of the led? I tuck it back as far as i can inside..
You might try without it or there is another set of wires in there i didnt need, you may need to connect those..
Looks like there is install site on back of box.. Www.weisslicht.com

Sorry! Dont kill the messenger! :p

Lol,

Not, you are good brother. I drove with the lights on all day and their are still working. I moved the cylinder around, but I don't want to push them in too much because of the motors inside the adaptive headlight. I just deleted my side marker light and will be taking pictures tomorrow. Will post them soon after.
