Hello everyone,

I replaced my halogen bulbs to led on my F30. I am getting error on my display saying left and right dipper lights have failed. Can I clear the error code using an OBD2 and will this affect the electrical system of my car?

Thank you

CJ

Hi Cyriac

The lights will need a resistor inline to stop the fault but that isn't the end of your woes fitting LED lamps to a car that was originally Halogen I believe is an automatic MOT fail

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      Funny question. Does anyone know if bmw 1.4.0 work on an59 plate mini? it stopped and refused to start. apparently the garage think it’s key has lost comms, but both keys won’t allow the car to start and the battery is dying. im not with the car now but apparently it’s not the starter motor issue and it won’t push start.

      2 Series Sport 2018 - knocking noise from front of car

      Hi, My 2 series experiences a knocking noise from the front of the car when the temperature outside is above 18 degrees. This does not happen on cooler days. I have taken it to the garage and they cannot find the fault. Has anyone else experienced this?

      Morning Dave thank you Got new brakes when I bought her in April, tyres are Goodyear and Bridgestone with plenty thread and the suspension feels good to me besides that I’m not certain of its condition 😄 There’s a reputable tuner nearby so I’ll look into getting it on the dyno to check the current output and see where I’ll go from there Much appreciated Scott

      425d

      Morning Scott Welcome to the Forum The start point is to ensure your engine is in top condition and your car is producing close to it's original power output which I believe is around 215hp, that means a thorough service and rolling road session. Then talk to the ECU tuners don't just go for the biggest claimed increase, how many have they done ? How successful is it and how satisfied are there customers ? do they have a demonstrator? With a good base to start I would expect a good remap should see 25% to 30% gains it is the gain in torque that is the most important, that's what gets you down the road 😁 However remember brakes, suspension and tyres after all if you get there quicker it's nice to know you can stop and steer as quickly Good Luck Dave

      Anyone tuned an f32 425d? Mine is automatic (2014) and I’m wondering how she’ll handle an ECU or tcu tune. Current mileage about 93000 miles.
