Please everybody help to do this survey. Thanks in advance

after a quick car wash at tesco, the error message came out again when I drove it in the evening when turned on the headlight. it was not on after the wash on the way back home.

[quote="storminmike"] [quote="storminmike"] [quote="x5inwales"] thanks guys for sharing the information! mine happened when i changed the 10w Angel eye LED marker from 3w. i changed one side and turn on the light to see the difference between 10w and 3w, then the error message came out.

My 3w ones were a tight fit.....but the new 10w one I've just fitted are very loose.

probably haven't positioned correctly. it should be the same as 3w.

[quote="MSPORTBMW"] [quote="Y13HYA"] you will be fine. Bought many of those before. (for different cars) Just ensure the black connections are nice and tight on those. You'll know once you see the connectors. Sometimes they can be a little loose. Apart from that all good. [/quote] How is the best ...

[quote="Johnell"] I drove my X5 about a mile this morning and all was ok but when I went back to the car about 30 minutes later I got the suspension inactive error as soon as I drove off and it stayed on until I got home again. I came in and read this thread then went for a 5 mile drive and didn't ...

the error message didn't show up yesterday, a good weather, could the damp weather be a factor causing the error message?

[quote="MSPORTBMW"] Hmmm.....well the ones i just purchased are these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200777076441?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Only £29 !!! Just hope i will see a difference from the 3w ones i have in at the min. [/quote] you maybe regret, sorry to say it :-[

Just don't buy them at all, 3W costs around 25 quid, it just makes the angel eye white not that yellow or brown, but not very bright, hardly visible in day light,

thanks guys for sharing the information! mine happened when i changed the 10w Angel eye LED marker from 3w. i changed one side and turn on the light to see the difference between 10w and 3w, then the error message came out. Maybe I shouldn't change the LED marker at all, as I feel they are much the ...

Just a personal opinion, I updated the standard angel eye marker to 3w LED marker, recently I changed it to 10w LED marker, it looks the same to me. Don't waste money on expensive 10w or higher, personal opinion, it is same or similar to 3w.
