Off topic, plan to tackle this when the capacitors come in, but I also got Depo headlights with angle eyes, anyone know where I should tap the angel eyes?

Dark5yde 02-27-2013 10:06 PM

What do you want the angel eyes to do? Come on with your running lights? Or come on separate from all your other lights? For me personally I have uninstalled eyes right now. When I do run them I am going to run it straight to the power on the fire wall and have a switch in the cab. I want to be able to use them whenever I want and not just with the driving lights on. As for pics of my taillights on it will have to wait as its been raining ever since I put them in lol.

looks good OP, glad you are working now! once we get these rear fog lights sorted out i will be real happy....

I just have to fix my wheel bearings before doing "fun mods" so unfortunately the project will have to wait...

I'd actually like them to turn on with the parking lights

Just want to verify, is this what I need?

Not those particular ones. LightWerkz Contact Us Go to that link scroll to the bottom. Inquire about the E53 tail light capacitors. They will contact you with the correct order form and how to pay.

Hello

I have a 04 FaceLift X5 ,
does the LightWerkz capacitor kit correct and eliminate the Flickering, Strobing and light error codes when I install LED Trailights?

Thank you
Jim

it eliminates flickering while running from the adaptive brake lights.

if you want to stop the cold monitoring flicker upon startup, you need to have your cold monitoring turned off for the tail lights and brake lights via coding.

So far I've struck out getting clear/red tails in LED. Lots if options for smoked/red or clear/clear. Haven't found them on eBay and have messaged a handful of the folks selling other options and thus far all only have bulb options for the tail lights in the red/clear combo.

It may be something that comes and goes but unfortunately I'm due for an inspection so can't wait it out :(
