I have searched everywhere to find the meaning for the following light bulb error code: CC ID-371
Does anyone happen to know what bulb this is referring to? Or where I might be able to find this info?

Thanks!

no one knows?

really? weird...I have only tinkered with changing out all the interior and licence plate lights to LED's....

Okay, I was attempting the "teach a man to fish" approach...

371 is the license plate bulb code. If you click the down arrow in the lower left corner of the reader control, you can save the list locally as a .pdf for easier searching.

Next you may want to search the DIY forum for the keyword resistors, or try to return the LED bulbs if it was implied that they wouldn't throw any codes.

Good luck.

it's actually not the angel eyes i just checked, angel eyes are 378 and 379.

it IS the license plate light, i changed mine to leds and its been throwing that code and another every since. strange note though: when i turn on the lights or they automatically turn on then after about 3 or 4 seconds the code will disappear as if the circuit sensed that they are working or the resistance level dropped to an acceptable value.
However, i removed them and reverted back to the factory bulbs and now i never get a code.
I still have leds throughout the entire interior just not in the trunk or license plates. The other leds i have are a different brand and they work fine, so im guessing that maybe this batch that i got for the license plate lights uses resistors that are outside of bmws tolerances.

Good job waking up a 12 year old post.
