Yup, they were working fine on the BULB setting and I changed them to LED and it was still working until I removed them and reinstalled the bulb.

If you properly coded warm andcold monitoring off, and to bulb type led, then it sounds like the led bulbs are not seated properly in the sockets.
PY21W have offset pins and P21W have straight pins.
Did you file or clip off one of the pins from the PY21W led bulb?
If not then you're forcing the PY21W led bulb into a P21W socket and is not properly making contact to the base of the socket.
The pins on the bulbs are there to hold the bulbs in place. It still needs to be properly seated to the base of the socket.
If this doesn't work then you might have damage the socket.

No, didn't you read? I just said I already did this. I switched the entire socket holder from the left to the right side and it was working on the right side. So, its not a socket nor bulb issue.

Please read what I posted above before commenting. I already listed everything.

Its jibberish because its what I did, in the exact order. Which may be what caused it. Who knows?

I have an attitude for pointing out that I already did that and its above?

Good one.

Try to use something like Bimmerlink to detect error codes. It would help.

Yup!

Thanks to Stephan Gauch from Bimmercode!

Found out it was a Short Circuit error and that the counter needed to be reset.

Gave an error but it reset all and all is good.



And if you want to know how to here:

Downloaded DEEP OBD > Went to BDC > Edibas Tool >
STEUERN_RESET_KURZSCHLUSSABSCHALTUNG and put 0xFE in the Arguements and Click Disconnected.
