Got them this morning around 11...post man knocked on the door and i signed for it too....Am i still supposed to get an "tail lamp malfunction error" when i first turn on the car????

Thank you Bruce and Heiko !!!!! easy install too

Update: If i turn on the car with headlights/tailights off no errors, but as soon as i flip them on the error pops up and then goes away once i hit the brakes

You are not supposed to get any errors at all. I'll PM you some things to check. If there is anyone else that is getting any errors on the V6 please contact me urgently because as mentioned there should be absolutely no errors on this version of the kit. However I'm now using the bigger heatsink resistors that have a 5% tolerance as opposed to my V5.1 where I was using the weaker TO220 resistor but they were 1% tolerance. Our cars are so picky that this may be causing your computer to trip and because its just slightly over the threshold it detects the error and then the error disappears - this is easily to resolve.

I have not received any error messages of any kind. I tested the right side, the 1st one I put in, before putting back in all the carpeting and stuff and it was fine. I even did the "Check" via the stalk button and the car said I had no errors. I then installed the left side, tested it the same way, and NP's to report. They've been perfect and I LOVE them.

Still waiting on mine. I believe Heiko only shipped my set on the 21st, because I was last to pay. The rest of yours should have been shipped on the 18th.

Most people wont get any errors. The only people who may get an error is the US folks where BMW interchanged the Brake and Tail lines from the EU cars. I'm getting slightly modified versions of the V6 sent out to the people who have the error.
