Hello
I got LED tail light put on for a month and everytime i turn on the car, it give me warning message and it is gone but after while it comes back.
Manufacture told me to do reflash my ECU but I dont know if BMW would do this.
So I was wondering If any one of you guys with headlight, can you tell me if you guys getting any message like this? and if you did , did you fix it?

You need Bruce_Miranda's custom cables or BMW LCI retrofit cables, which requires you to purchase LCI Headlights and maybe ACM.

Is it an aftermarket LED taillight or OEM BMW LCI taillight? The LM (light module) controls the lightings as far I know. With the OEM you can buy a plug & play cable made by a member here. Or can go with the OEM route which requires cable, dealer's coding, and or a new light module. There are a lot of information discussed before and including the advantage/disadvantage. This thread might be useful.
It is aftermarket LED tailight.

It should be plug & play--the manufacture should have provided the cable/circuit to prevent the error msgs. A while ago, some members here bought the after market led taillight and didn't have trouble with it. not sure what brands--maybe same like yours.
