Thank you so much for the video. The tail light on my e60 has started doing the exact same thing as yours. I thought it was bad ground, then maybe bad socket connection. I fixed those to no avail. Thanks to your video, now I know what to do. Really hate that BMWs keep having issues with their lights, and it’s even worse now with LEDs.

Hello, i rarely comment on youtube but this video was so amazing and saved me 100 Euros at least, the tutorial is so indept that even an amateur like me had no issues, however i wanna say few things in case someone runs into same issue like me

Pay attention to the order of wires with colors in their sockets, mine go in a different order, thankfully i could tell something was wrong because my light started acting as a turning indicator instead lol, i didn't take note how mine was before i took them out so i put them back like in the video but it was backwards, thankfully it was an easy switch back because i didn't even have to dissasemble it again, could do it in the car

Also for glueing the red cover back, heated glue gun worked wonders

Thank you so much mate

Hallo, auch von mir ein herzliches Dankeschön. Habe nach einigen Stunden die LED repariert.
Die Schwierigkeiten lagen beim andrücken der LED und nachlöten, hier konnte ich trotz Lupe nicht den Defekt sehen.
Aber am Ende hat es irgendwie funktioniert.

Thank you very much! Brilliant, and it worked for me. You were right about having to open it up again - a second board failed after the first was repaired.

Hi thanks very much. Great video! I had the same issue on a BMW E90 LCI from 2009. I got the CC-id 125 error. I fixed it the way you explained, it took me around 1, 5 hours. Just for the re-solder part i was not sure how to do it so I used some glue around the led while pressing it.

This is the whole point of DIY "do it yourself" video, not just another buy a new light and replace it. I think it would be easier and safer to dremel around the contour to avoid cracking it. And then glue it back together that way it would properly seal from humidity and water entering the light. Nevertheless, great vid keep it up. 👍

Very nice job! I have the same problem but on the right side

Hi AT, good video! I have the same rear lights for bmw e90 2006 model and they seem to be having electrical issues. They sometimes come on and the right drivers' side one barely comes on. Sometimes in the morning they are both fine. Happens to fog rear lights as well. Sometimes only on one side both led and fog light comes on even if I haven't switched the fog lights on! And when the lights switch is completely switched on then the rear fogs remain on, and even though I haven't switched them on?! May you advice where I should first look?!

[poscentgonga]

Thanx for such a great video. It worked like a charm for me

[albertgreen]

my rear right turn signal is faulty, does not come on at all, would this be similar in repairing that?? or from my research, it seems you have to replace the whole assembly?? thanks for any reply!! great video!!

That silicone won`t hold for long and it will start fogging. You need to replace the whole lens, same procedure as with headlights.

On my E90 LCI, the short lightstrip inside the tail light curved downwards towards the longer lightstrip. Can it be straightened? Thanks for the video, you did great.
