When the dealer fitted mine a few months ago, they asked me beforehand what type of lights I had on my trailer, they said that there are different wiring looms for the hitch set up and the re-programing is slightly different as well if you have LED's

2009 x35d with LED trailer lights fully functional. Sounds like a bad trailer light module from BMW. It happened to me on my previous x3, drove me nuts. Have the dealer replace the light module! Otherwise you'll be in a straight jacket.......

Brake lights not working on trailer
My 2008 X5 did not work with LED trailer lights. I took it back to the dealer just two months ago and no change. I changed out the rear lights on the trailer to regular bulbs and all is working.

I had a problem with the trailers brake lights on an E70 I installed the hitch on... The trailer had regular lights too, not LED. Ended up goint to the parts store and buying a $15 plug in trailer plug tester with LED lights to show activated circuits, and the blinkers and running lights worked, but not the brake lights with the tester as well. Tested against another E70 w/trailer, all worked right.
Final solution, I replaced the trailer module (which was only days old). All worked right since then.

turns out the dealer couldn't fix the problem. I guess they have to wait for BMW to write a software program so the trailer works with LEDs. They agreed to switch over my trailer to conventional lights and give me $600 as compensation.

Damn, they're retrofitting your trailer and paying you compensation...? That's might big of them!

Did you get the car programmed? I have all LEDs on my boat trailer and there isn't any issue with the LEDs.
