Another satisfied repair....2 boards replaced for about $9 instead of $750 to replace both inner and outer lights on passenger side!

Update... The replacement board is a super easy fix for those who don't want to solder. I used it for both the inner and outer lights. The replacement is not as thick as the original Valeo board requiring you to tack it down in order to hold it securely in place (I used hot glue). Highly recommend it!

Also member Ogee from Norway on the Bimmerfest forums has created a PCB that can have the equivalent connector and the meanwell part on it so you dont have to cut any wires. Those of you handy with a soldering iron can get his eagle CAD files, order a PCB and solder the connector and MeanWell driver for a factory look. He is using a MeanWell 300ma driver to be closer to the Valeo specs, though the 500ma on my car after 16 months has caused no problems... http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...&postcount=165 Last edited by smovva; 03-04-2018 at 08:42 PM..

Just a word of lookout for those replacing the LED driver board with ones from eBay: I had mine replaced and I got interference from the board and it affected my comfort access and keyless entry. I got the intermittent message that my key can not be recognized.
Still looking for another brand and see if it will be less of an interference. Any recommendations?

During the last year, I replaced already 3 boards, waiting for the 4th OEM to go South, from Hyperlights - Russia.
Absolutely no issues with comfort access or any other functions on the car. On another note: I change the garage door opener with a new generation Lift Master. I didn't like the light output, so I changed the bulbs with LED bulbs. Nice bright light, but: both BMW's failed to open/close the garage door. Did some research, and Lift Master has only a few LED light bulbs that are compatible with the garage door opener because they say it WILL interfere with the signal. Weird, but it happened to mine. So maybe if one switches the regular tail lights with some LED lights from Chinaland, those could interfere with the signal of the comfort access. After all these are diodes.

Hey guys, I have had the same issue on my X3, and I bought new led tail light replacement driver board from a UK website. The quality of the product was super fine, and the price was quite low. I would recommend you guys to give it a try. Here is the product I’ve been using for 6 months and it’s working perfectly.

You should have 4 lights total, the two outer ones and the two inner ones on the tailgate. If I were you, I would just replace all 4 so you don't have to pay twice for shipping in the future.

Just to summarize. There are 3 fixes for the problem:
Do you have an opinion which one is more durable without causing problems to the led lights or the car? |
