Flickering Lights on start up

[SimpleS]

Hey all,

I noticed this the other evening when I started the 135i.

The lights were set to auto and as I pushed the noise button, the headlights flickered for a few seconds then activated fully.

I know the lights need to warm up when the car is first started but this was a proper ON off ON off ON off flicker.

Ideas? :fencelook:

Aftermarket xenons installed?

 

[SimpleS]

Yep...

That's why :thumbs:

Don't worry, I've seen it plenty.

My number plate lights do it :slow:

My lights also do that as well :rollsmile:

When I had aftermarket LED's in my angel rings, they would flash separately when they weren't switched on. Looked like a cop car.

I could use blue ones and be my own blue-light brigade :fencelook:

There's a simple solution to this problem, it can be coded away.......

BMW has a system in place that regulates the voltage sent to the bulbs known as heat and cold control, it's for climates that experience seriously cold temperatures..... Get the feature coded off and problem solved :thumbs:

Thanx Guys!
Was a bit concerned it had to do with bad wiring or voltage issues.

When you buy aftermarket bulbs or hid kits it needs to be canbus for the later models:thumbs:
