LED Fog Light retrofit stay dim when off

chrisymarr · 02-10-2014, 12:33 PM

Hi

Just wonder if someone can help me, fitted LED fogs to my F30 today and done the coding to stop the car displaying an error. Now with the lights fitted they remain lit albeit very dim when the fogs are switched off. How do I cure this?

Cheers

they will probably turn off after a few minutes along with the other random electrical components that stay "on"after turning the vehicle off. otherwise, id assume resistors would be a good cure but i have no idea. in fact everything i said can be complete garbage.

This is probably a result of the coding you used. Check to make sure there isn't better coding available.

Get some CanBus wires. A forum member had a similar problem and solved it with that.
