E46 Standard Lights changed to LED

[Ram3on]

I've changed the standard lights on my E46 330Ci to LED's, the car is a late 2002 built vehicle. Now the question is that I read that the 'light module' can be reprogramed to get the LED's to stop the 'slight flicker' they have when run of a standard light module? Does anyone know who can do this?

I know the alternative is to source a 'light module' from a 'LED' fitted vehicle, but the down side is that you'll always have the 'tamper light' on the cluster showing!!!

Any thoughts will be appreciated. :=):

Post a video of the flickering? Most cars even some of the modern ones like Merc C class LCI which uses LED taillights also flicker. Its not easily visible but when you look carefully you can notice it. So I am just wondering how bad is the flickering...

believe me, you notice it :yuck:

I tried making a video, but it then flickers like hell!! even on the E46 M3's lights, which are OEM '04 model, it flickers, must be something with taking live footage off LED's :flyfun: but here's some pics of the 'new' lights on the 330Ci.....

Getting the light module re-programmed today at BMW......will post how it all went and if working (hold thumbs)

 

[Ram3on]

So the programming did not work on the light module currently in the 330Ci....got a hole printout of six pages and nothing :flyfun:

Now I have to buy a new module and BMW can't say that it will work ?? how is it that they sell the cars, offer the LED option and don't know how or if it will work once you've installed it??

at least I was not charged anything for this 'run around' .....now what?

Import Eagle Eyes replacement for R1500 which actually work awesome.

@legacy... thanks for that, thinking to getting some of those mentioned for the 4door E46 :rollsmile: I've now got the 330's Ci's....so might as well 'do the leg work' and get them working properly!!

If you figure out how to make them work properly please remember to post here in case others try the same.
