If not, no problem. But can be better for the lifespan of the back lights. These can stop working I read after some years.
Hello MichielX1,

Happy to hear that it worked. Your car looks much better now.

Rear light LED strips working "overtime" is not an error, it a feature that can be activated / deactivated by Bimmercode (even within Simple mode). Please see my post on Page 5 (post #90, last picture).

I understand your concern, as I have periodically seen cars on the road with some strips not working (mostly for the reason described by MrPingu).

But they have relatively long lifespan, it is not like they are going to burn out overnight on your car.

I am still in the phase when I'm rejoicing success of my conversion, so they are on full time . When I get fully used to them and they become "ordinary" to me, I'll likely consider shutting them down during the day (when front DRL's are working) for preservation.

All the best.

Sorry that your led stopped working, mrpingu. I hope you can fix it.

And thanks to you and inlinesix85 for the solution not having the rear lights during daytime. I was under the impression that the daylights had to be active making the conversion work. Because it is one of the steps to be taken.

I hope future members have a help as well from this thread. Bye!
