No resistor need . Just the capacitors and solder the positive of capacitor to the green wire and the negative of capacitor to the black wire.
If your new light came with all green wire then you need to find out witch wire is the parking light and tap it there.
Btw way sonar or eagle eye comp they all the same ..

I connected the capacitor to green wire(positive) and black wire(negative) but flicker remains still. :saad:
I used two type cap(16v 4700uF, 25v 4700uF) but the result was same. Connect cap, the running light is brighter but flicker does not decrease.
What can I do next?

Hi! everyone

Please help me. I was really hard during past few weeks.

My e53 X5 is 2005 sports version. This car was produced after 2005, has different tail light harness line from before 2003. The e53 X5 was produced before 2003 has 4 harness line but my X5 has 5 harness line.

Please help me everyone.

Are you sure your X5 has 5 pins?Its the other way round!Earlier upto 2003 has 5 pins and 2004-2006 has 4 pins,eventhough they both share a 6 pin connector plug!
This is 2004-06 tail light showing 4 pins

Yes 4pin but lines are 5. One pin is shared by the two lines. I'm in local area now, going home at sunday. I will upload detail pictures of my X5 original tail light harness and led tail light at home.

Sorry a little late. I came back home just. Anyway 2005 X5 tail light connector is different from 2003. Also driver side lines of connector has different pin location from passenger side. Therefore, other methods seem necessary. Please see my upload pictures.

let me see if i remember your issue - you had the main issue with flickering, right? the lights were lighting up normal, parking, brake, turn signals... but flickering and the message on the dash, right?

for the message, if the resistor does not resolve the issue, you will need to turn off COLD MONITORING, HOT MONITORING and REPORTING OF FAULTS of the rear lights - the LCM will still register errors for the LEDs but will NOT report those errors to the dash.

for flickering... cold monitoring may reduce the flickering slightly but the main reason for it is the BDF... i do not know which values need to be entered into the system to eliminate the BFD flickering, if the capacitor does not help - but it is doable from within the programming as well...

Thanks so much really.

You are right the all tail light function is ok. Just flickering is problem. My friend gave ncs expert to me, I wii try turn off cold and hot monitoring coding soon. But it is not easy to me. Also I solved warning error message problem use resistor(10w 14ohm) 1hour ago. But still remain flickering only. Anyway I will solve this flickering problem however big time consume.

Thanks again.
