Yeah, thats true. The first, I was a little skeptical, but it really works for my car.

These mods are quite difficult to do and I think that cars are specimens with different equipments.

Milko...Did you use the D2S ballast?

Also, Jas is having unusual errors. I think the only error I have ever seen was the parking light failure. He is getting messages regarding the tail lights linked to pressing the brakes. I think the LCM just takes care of the parking light errors. I could be wrong. I know each car reacts a little different to this mod, so I don't know.

Yes, I have D2S ballasts (Bi-xenons).

I just got parking light failure messages and I don´t really know how the LCM really works, but my car works perfect now. These are quite difficult things

My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights Planned mods: Folding mirrors - Modmynav kit - High gloss shadowline trim -

As if the error messages weren't strange enough - I fitted the LCI taillights along with Bruce's
cables last night and the rear light left faliure came
on as previously described. However the rear light right faliure (which previously came on after a few secs of pressing the brake) is not
coming on in the same way. It still comes on but more randomly and
more importantly, less often.

I am trying to figure out if there is any pattern which may shed some light on why it
is coming up.

I'll also be trying a error canceller instead of the capacitor I am currently using. If that had no effect then I'll try these xenon's
in another E60 (if I can find one) or try converting D2S headlights (not ideal really as this will cost alot more to get another set of headlights)

In the meantime, if any one has any other suggestions please let me know.
