Problems with LED install!

[dnsource]

I ran into a problem today trying to install my LED map lights.

1) No mater what way I put in the map lights I can only get one out of the 3 to turn on and it flickers...
I bought this set Xenon White 5 Lights LED Interior Pkg BMW E70 X5 06 up - eBay (item 380151475178 end time Nov-14-10 17:11:12 PST)

anyone??

I put in 4 LEDs in door bottoms but 1 LED flickers a bit... I think it's just the LED itself rather than a power issue. I'd only guess that you have bad LEDs (or the contacts are dirty somehow). If you plug the originals back they turn on fine right? Did you try putting the 1 working one into other slots also - does it work / flicker in that spot?

It only works/flickers on the passanger map light. No matter what bulb

Even the original bulb? If so, you have to bring it into your dealer with your originals installed.

If it's only the LEDs doing that, apparently they are very picky:

You need two things to fix it:

1. Understand why it blinks (bulb start check)
2. Code your vehicle and disable bulb check for this specific bulb and probably code some additiuonal paramter - after that your HID wil work just fine.

How do I "code" my vehicle? Seems like something I don't have tools for.

Thank you

I saw the coding price on there and I honestly dont think its worth it for some $20 bulbs. Im sure for some other things its worth coding but not for what I want. Thanks Anyways

There is no any specifi coding price I am not sure what you see. I can tell you how to code if you want, in your case it is just a simple mod whic does require you only to have the proper adapter. PM me if you need help.
