E92 Rear LED light bars not as bright as the other

Ziomek232323 · 08-07-2021, 04:48 AM

Hi,

I have a problem with my E92 Tail light. The 3 LED (bars) light up but they are not as bright as the passenger side. I can see the LED's working (all 3) its just the brightness is not right.

I tried connecting the faulty headlight to the connector on the passenger side but it still wasnt bright enough. This means that the wiring is not the issue.

Anyone experience this issue before ?

I bought a second hand taillight and it has the same issue

.

Is it possible that the LED's over time get burnt out and are not as bright anymore ?

Water gets into the light or condenses, then the SMD Led contacts oxidize and fall off or stop carrying current. The solution is either to cut off the relevant part of the plastic and replace the Led (it is difficult to find exactly the same one with high luminosity and angle of emission) or simply buy other lights.
