My Ride: bmw 530d,2004,500nm,navi profesional.bi-xenon ,adaptive curve light,active sterring,etc...
i saw here,that many users has ordered led tail lamp,and i think a listle help is good.
first of all i want to tel u that was a problem when i instaled may tail lamp,
I instaled lamp,conect to the car conctor ,and SURPRISE ,the led was amaizing,but when the engine was turned on the intensity of led disapear,when engine off,led was shaining.
My conclusion was that, that power rezistor (that conect direc to leds )that come whit the lamp,has not enought negative power,and need to conect to other car negative source(ANY).

Wow wow wow......slow down
I have just received my new resistor box from car gym and still have the same problem as before.
Which wire's did you add and where did you wire them too ....please help
I think you are talking about the smaller of the two boxes ( the one with the resistors showing through)
Please help because these lights look the dogs b*llocks when theyre working properly
