Thats my guess. I have aftermarket LED tail lights on my E36, and have no problem with them either.

My guess is some aftermarket companies do more research than others. The one in question here probably didn't know there were different tail lights on each side of a production split, with the update, and most likely degisned the tail lights to work with a newer E53. I would try to find some that actually offer different tail lights depending on year... then you know they did some research on the differences.

i got my LED tail lights from zomk speed of ebay and i dont have any problem with it.

I have the same issue! On late december 2002 model E53! have anybody solved this? My brakelights only illuminate when i push the brake pedal!
