2012 F25 outer taillight not working after replacing LED board
Hi,
I had one inner and outer taillight not working on my X3 and got new driver boards of EBay the other day. I started with the outer taillight but it didn’t work, I tried with both boards but it didn’t make a difference. Moved on to the inner light and it started working immediately with the new board in place so I guess it’s safe to assume the boards themself are OK. Now, what would the next step be? Replace the assembly the board sits in? https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts...-08059313.html Wiring? Something else? I’ve tried to research but couldn’t find any useful information. Thank you for any help 😊 |

Have you tried swapping over the good OEM boards from the other side of the car, to see if it made a difference? I'm thinking you just have a connection issue.
I used the Russian boards from ebay. Aside from the original brake lamps going out suspiciously at the same time, everything worked fine. |

Thanks guys, I found that the issue was the bulb carrier board.
Now Im fighting with the dealership to buy me one. It is only $40 but they promised the car was flawless and I have been dealing with this since December.. |
