Problems with Angel Eyes....

I have been getting "left parking lamp malfunction" as well as "right parking lamp malfunction" for a little while now.
When I purchased my 2004 530i about a year and a half ago, it already had upgraded angel eyes. I dont know what brand/version they are, but they are white, not amber.
The issue that I am having is that they are cutting out. Sometimes the left doesnt work, and sometimes the right doesnt work. Sometimes they both work.
I have noticed that the right is a bit dimmer and flickery when it is on, and the left is brighter and not flickery. Has anyone else had this problem? Will replacing resolve this? I don't want to buy new Angel Eye bulbs, just to have the same issue.
Thanks.

Honestly, no idea how to resolve this issue, but if it was happening to my car, I'd try to revert to OEM AE bulbs and see if that works. You can try and search for forum members in your area and see if anyone might have a set laying around - just so that you can try them and see if its your upgraded bulbs or something else.
If OEMs work fine, then just get a new set of AE bulbs - just be sure to do your research and get the quality ones.
Good luck!

LEDs will soon blow out especially the RDash ones. I would upgrade to the MTEC V2s. 1 full year warranty without any problems. I have only encountered ONE manufacturer's defect so far. JUST ONE!
