E46 4 Door LED tail lights

[KarshS]

Hi Guys

Im having a problem getting my LED lights to work.

Its a 2005 model.

I had them fitted but for some strange reason the indicators stay on when the parks are on. When i indicate they do flash but the flash fast.

The error light on my Dash is switched on for the two rear lights

Im not sure if they are not meant for the car or what but i did see another 4 door with these lights and they work fine...

Any help will be appreciated.

Heres a pic of it

Same thing happens when changing from normal globes to LED indicators on the bikes, I think there is a cancellation circuit that you can get to fix this.

lol thanks dude....I posted more pics under the showroom now......

Just this damn lights are messing with my brains!!!!:hammerhead:

It happens because the LEDs are simply diodes, and do not offer resistance like a normal filament globe does.

Sadly I dont know hey, There is apparently a resistor and capacitor pack that you get with the eagle eye LED tails, maybe email them and see if they will send just that to you.

But it did come with the resistors.....

lol damn i give up...just going to put the standard lights back

Dont give up so easy Search on some of the international forums as well, maybe you arent connecting them up properly or something silly that you missing.

pity our led lamps dnt fit the e46
No errors
The led basically tells your cars brain that there are no lamps, so it throws a code, and the indicators remain lit
