It's pretty weird and anoying

Sorry to hear that bro. I don't think you has the ricky brake mod, just the brake set that he got from Depot. More likely, you need to contact the seller to have the resistors packs replace. I modded mine, so I don't need the resistors pack anymore, I wish I can give them to you, but but I have hacked them apart to see what they have inside haha.

Lol at quanger for the hack job. So what did you replace them with and why? I need to have some stand by my car to listen and look for light blinking. Well for the other guy I would call them. I talked to the people a few times before I bought the lights they seem cool.

I coded the car so there are no " bulb check" anymore. The purpose of the resistor packs are to fool the car in thinking that the Pre LCI OEM lights are still there.

Thanks anyways quanger. I already talked to them, they made me send a video to check what was going on with them. I hope to solve this issue without sending them back cause i already got rid of the old ones. We know what would happen...

Hi am looking to get these cables for my 2005 E60 do you have a link or something so I can buy them thanks

The v6.1L is for LCI cars. These differ from the v6.1 as they have no error cancelling, no strob filtering, and are made for LCI cars which already have the 8 pin LCI connector plugs, and an LM2 with the default LCI taillight settings that automatically takes care of the error cancelling... these won't fit to the pre lci.

Not suppose to be off when braking bro. They are should be on all the time when the light are on, with or without the brake light.
