This sounded really complicated to me the first few times I read through all these articles, but when you boil it down, the wiring is really very simple. All installation details aside, this is what you are doing in its most basic explanation:

1.) Cut wire #12
On freshly cut wire #12 (coming from headlight):
i.) Connect your own wire.
ii.) Run your wire to sidemarker
iii.) Splice your wire into existing power wire for the sidemarker
On freshly cut wire #12 (coming from car):
i.) Connect resistor.
ii.) Attach resistor to engine bay.
iii.) Ground the other end to a metal surface in the engine bay.

Also, keep in mind: This DIY requires that you replace the front turn signal with an LED in order to compensate for the difference in power consumption.

how do you remove the sidemarker?

OK, I did this mod today and am having some trouble. I got all the connections correct (tried both with grounding to the ground wire coming out of harness and grounding to metal) and two things aren't working.

First, my side markers no longer work. I did replace the stock lights in the side markers with LEDs also.

Second, while Angel Eyes light now as DRL, the yellow highbeams still light. Is this normal?

Anyone know the reasons/solutions?

Thanks,

I did this mod, yes pretty simple, but my LED's don't work. When I put back my original stock yellow bulbs, they work fine. Any solutions/Ideas?

i did the same its been over 2 months and it still working just fine

I've had this mod for a very very long time now. Held up perfectly and the dealer never noticed it. I just made sure I had my lights turned off when I turned it in to them.

When I was doing the mod I ran into some problems, too. I just checked my connections over and over and finally found the problem. The hardest part is running the wire to the passenger sidemarker for sure!

Sorry but I did not feel like reading the thread because I am in a hurry ATM,
but does this work without changing the bulbs and needing resistors, so I
can keep the stock bulbs?

[skirjonen]

Hi,
I have to do this due to Finnish safety check...

Will this mod work with regular bulbs? And will the corners still blink as turn signals with side markers?
Thanks!

yes it works with the stock bulb but the op requires to change it to a led but is up to you, if you did everything right then yes it will work with ur side marker

[madisonsfinest]

can you put a before and after pic of the lights? Thanks

[dreamk]

sorry for the bad quality

Negative Ghostrider.

The easiest way to do this mod is to just buy the kit from Jlevi. It comes with the necessary resistors, LED bulbs, and some wire connectors for your splicing pleasure.

[FrankoQ]

what are the specs on the resistors?

Not exactly sure. I just used the ones from Jlevi's kit. PM them, they should know!

[Zurichbeemer]

Has anyone tried this on an X3? Do you think it would be same procedure?

[AMT92]

Okay i'm in the 818 so cal area, encino around those parts, is ANYBODY willing to do this for me?

OK, so I just completed this mod, but I'm getting error messages I never expected. I followed the instructions above as I already posted and everything seemed to be working fine. I got all connected and tested it, no problems. Then I put everything back together only to find that A.) the turn signal doesn't work anymore, and B.) my adaptive headlights no longer work. As far as the adaptive part goes, I'm thoroughly confused because I never touched ANY wires for the headlights, so why would it affect their functionality? Only reason I can think of is if for some reason the adaptive is somehow tied into the turn signal. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Hi all, i was wondering if this mod is the same or even available for 2007 bmw 335i coupe (e92)? if so can someone post a link to a DIY??? thanks very intrested in this mod! thanks!
