No resistors came with the lights. No instructions. Simple plug in. It's all functional: turn signal, reverse, lighting and braking. Just OBC error for icing on cake.

Seller: proexhaust. When asked about manufacturer info or specs on resistors, they replied:

Dear customer
Sorry for any inconvenience
We don't have any instruction or information for that. In fact, it doesn't prefer you do the installation or any modify for this item. it's because all our products is licensed mechanics install recommended. We can't do refund or exchange for any damaged during the installation by non-profession.

Proexhaust

 

Wasn't looking for refund from seller, just resistor info. Have a date with local BMW dealer, wonder what they're gonna say bout reprogramming the error message or the cost?? Bitchin' technology them computers...

 

Thanks but I'll take my cake without icing! I understand how some ebay sellers operate - as usual it's buyer beware.

 

OK - the LED BULB BUG HAS BITTEN ... so which ebay sellers have the real deal and which will create more problems than I want to deal with ? I don't need or want to spend $1000 so someone following me might be able to tell that I have LED's

This one is $150 + $70 shipping >>

It seems we're looking at the same thing.

I've asked this seller if the reverse and turns part of the light is lightly smoked and if he can gurantee no computer error as advertised. It's a no brainer upgrade. I already have these installed for 2 months and love the aesthetics , alas OBC error....I can live with errors but don't really need dealer to flag vehicle with this so they can blame other electrical problems contributed from these afermarkets....blah blah blah. The cash for any labor work if warranty is void is just too much.

G530 -

Which vendor did you get these lights that cause obc errors from ???

 

I thought I added a reply but it seems to have disappeared ?!?!

There was a post about adding an additional ground wire to correct bulb errors - found it in the wee hours of the morning when I was doing some research. Also referenced the cargym.com website - think one of their folks is on the forum. Wonder if bulb errors are isolated and dependent on the quality of individual lamps when they are manufactured? The saying "You get what you pay for" may apply.

 

proexhaust on ebay. I will buy these in a heart beat if I have vendor's word of no OBC errors (but only the smoked ones)

 

I hope you find it again.

Got any pix of Angel iBright V3.0 day and night? Don't think they're much brighter than knockoffs from ebay, but I may be wrong.
