LED Dome Lights will not stay on Please Help

KNmiami · 03-05-2012, 07:08 PM

I have a 2011 E90. I just installed a LED light kit. Every light works just fine except for when the car is ON. i turn the Dome light on all the lights come on just fine then after 10 secs the front and back dome lights turn off and will not turn back on till you turn the car off. All the other light still turn on and off. Anyone run into this problem? I tried putting the original light back in to see if it would light but no luck.

Same problem, no solution.

VMRWheels · 03-05-2012, 07:26 PM

What an odd problem. It's probably something to do with resistors between certain bulbs.

BLK_ATL335 · 11-13-2012, 06:47 PM

Bump for a problem that never got a solution. I'm having this issue now and I must say it is quite annoying.

DetectiveLoki · 11-13-2012, 06:49 PM

Could it possibly be that the LED is bad quality?

SilverII · 11-13-2012, 06:59 PM

get some LED with resistor built in. It is not pulling enough juice and the car is turning the light off

jacobsed · 11-13-2012, 07:34 PM

I got mine from topgearsolutions and it works great.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-13-2012, 08:08 PM

I did have this problem once and ended up getting a third-party Chinese LED canbus peanut bulb to solve the issue.

idrift4wd · 11-13-2012, 10:32 PM

solution=canbus light. if have canbus light you need canbus type 2 light. earlier model cars still have some issues but works 95% of the time.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-14-2012, 06:14 AM

High-performance bulbs supposedly had a canbus dome light guaranteed to work (both the high powered and regular dome). I tried both, they did not work for me (2011 E93).

KNmiami · 11-14-2012, 12:05 PM

I got a kit from Modmy3 and it works great.. Never have a problem now.

mump · 11-14-2012, 02:16 PM

^ same here. Modmy3 ones work great for me.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-14-2012, 02:32 PM

Those failed as well.

KNmiami · 11-15-2012, 07:22 PM

did you install them right? that was a problem i ran into at first.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-15-2012, 07:38 PM

Yep. Flipped them around, the whole nine.
2011 E93s are finicky it seems...

e90328i · 11-15-2012, 07:41 PM

But they still probably wouldn't work.

mump · 11-16-2012, 06:36 AM

you can come get them - i'll even pick you up at the airport. we'll drive the e93 the way it suppose to be driven.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-16-2012, 06:49 AM

Haha, it's cool man. My peanut bulb is working just fine. Much appreciated though

mump · 11-16-2012, 07:06 AM
