These are the errors when I start the car. Soon as I turn the lights on they all but vanish with only the fog lights and rear right reverse light error that remains.

So looks like my right rear reverse light is out, changed the bulb and still not working. I'm convinced that something isn't right with the wiring.

Also when I start the car the high beams flicker for 2-3 seconds.

Otherwise lights function perfectly.


Which wiring did you follow, the old instructions or the new ones?

If you are changing the FRM, it really doesn't seem to matter which wiring diagram you go by. I used the latest wiring revision that also indicated that I could use my existing FRM.... NOT! My old FRM wouldn't code, so I ended up using the new one (with orange dot).

Mine are working 100% now.

I love my new LED headlights!
:woohoo:

I washed the car today and said, "I am so glad these friggin headlights work!"

:)

Honestly, I was almost resorting to plan B of putting the Xenons back in!

Hi Chris,

New one. And followed instructions as per 'without SA 524' this meant on page 10 I had to disconnect wires from FRM plugs and move them around to different pins.

But your vehicle originally came with fog lights, correct?

330ZHP, Tim, Tony and Jeff - what wiring did you follow?

I followed the original BMW wiring instructions, as the revised ones did not exist at the time that I did my retrofit.

Yes came with fogs and halogen lamps originally.

2010 X5M - I followed the updated wiring and installed new FRM.
With SA524
