Fog Lamp Malfunction

gmtbimmer · 01-29-2012, 07:54 AM

I just installed new LED fog lamps. They work perfectly, the problem is that the car is telling me that I have a right and left fog lamp malfunction every time I turn the car on. The seller of the LED bulbs had this disclaimer “Since the LED bulbs have lower wattage than stock 55W halogen bulbs, therefore when installing on some newer cars, you might need to add load resistors or special wiring harness to ensure the proper function”. Does anyone know how to fix this error message that I keep getting so I don’t have to uninstall them? Thank you in advance.

It appears you have the answer inside your question! Just becuase you don't like the answer, doesn't mean you ignore it.

It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
