Angry Interior LEDs flickering, NEED HELP!

Hey guys, new to the X5 scene but not the BMW scene. I just traded in my 08 M3 for a 2012 X5 50i. Before trading the M3 I parted it out and one of the things I saved was my interior V-LED bulbs. I installed them all in the X5 and the 3 dome lights in the headliner flicker. I contacted V-LEDs and they suggested a different bulb. I got the new ones in today, they don't flicker, but they do randomly cutout or blink with no pattern to the cuts. Has anyone had any luck with LEDs in the domes on a 2012? All the rest of the bulbs work great, the only 3 that blink are the 2 domes in the rear on either side of the glass roof and the one dome in the center overhead console. All the map lights in those same assemblies do not blink. I am dumbfounded! I saw one other guy started a thread and got no replies. Those with LED success, please help! A link to your working LEDs would be great!

FYI I got another bulb from a different company that seems to work great.

i would try a different connection than the turn signals. maybe run a wire direct to accesories in the fuse box with a inline fuse and a toggle switch. also maybe see if the leds need grounded? just a guess good luck

Huh? I think you missed something. I don't need to ghetto rig it because I got a new bulb that worked. Thanks anyway!

Sounds like the resistance isn't correct in the LEDs. We've had a lot of success with the kit for the E70 from Ziza, (I have it available HERE) our E70 is running the kit with no issues, and all my customers are reporting back no issues as well.
