My E90 interior LED light problem

I just installed LED interior light for my E90 330i.

However the dome light and the reading light (Front and back) didn't work great while the engine started. When I turn the engine on, and I turn the light on, it only last for 5-10 sec and goes off. What can I do for that? It is a common problem for all E90?

Thanks!

Only common on some kits with generic LED. You need the high quality Canbus stuff.

If you want a kit that works I have your answer.

Here is the kit we offer.

If you dont want the full kit you can purchase individual pieces directly from the company.

Sounds like you just want the domelights and map lights that work.

It's because the LEDs draw less current than a normal halogen bulb. The car thinks the bulb is out and will shut the circuit down.

You can add a load resistor so it works with no errors but you'll find it hard to find one that will fit in that area and not get hot.

your map lights and dome lights will turn off after car starts, not to worry, all of our LED interior kits already come with canbus LEDs

Bmw supply a box of 10. There are 4 bulbs for doors and foot well lights and 6 for the dome. Swap them around and job done
