  • In this video I show you how to diagnose and fix a "burned out" rear running light on a 2015 BMW X3. My issue was a faulty LED controller chip, located on the back side of the taillight. I purchased a new chip on Amazon which fixed the problem. Hope this helps!

    You definatley walked me through it, i got the right board...2 things made this easy: 1) the existing board is hot pressed in so i zip tied the new board to it without heating out the old board. 2) The nut to remove the fixture is 8mm...2 small details to make an easy job even easier-Thanks again.

    0:35 Lifetime of the vehicle is 60k miles according to BMW. I asked my service advisor about the transmission fluid lifetime.

    I watched this two days ago and fixed it by myself tonight. It was easy and saved me a lot of money.

    I had a big argument with my South Florida BMW service advisor as he kept saying this is for European X3 versions. Ended up doing this myself.

      I have the same response from my dealer ,
      My tailgate light doesn't have this chip , I have no idea how to fix it and even tho I took my car to some shops and they kept telling me it's an European style car 🤦🤦

    Do you need special tool for removing the screw or a phillips head screwdriver would do the job?

    Hello! This kit repaird can be used also on Bmw 2 series 2016 active tourer,F45?I have the same issue

      You can repair the board easily or replace it. All it is LED "driver". The board just puts resistance between the 12V input and the LED light. They also add caps to prevent flickering as the voltage changes.

    A few of my bulbs seem to broken which is weird. Do you know what kind of Amazon I would need. They want to charge me 1800 bucks. They said my break and signal work just when it’s running lights don’t work.

    • @elilee2993
      @elilee2993 Před 9 měsíci

      You’d probably figured out 10 months ago. I had the same issue. A simple pry with the trim remover solved it. I was initially equally frustrated as well.
