Hello all,

I am getting a right turn signal malfunction after installing my WeissLicht Amber Turn Signal bulbs . Has anyone here experienced the same problem. I am at the dealership for an Auto Butler service and Oil Change and I asked the SA and he told me that it could be because I replaced a halogen bulb with an LED bulb that has less resistance.

I thought these things were supposed to be error free? I am only getting the error against the right side turn signal even though they both seem to work just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Same here, mine throw the same error - right turn signal malfunction.

However it goes away after few blinks, it seems like I am getting this after I turn on/off the hazard lights.

I am going to code out bulb checks..

I have decided to return the bulbs and re-install my egg yolks
I don't feel comfortable coding off bulb checks on a relatively new car. If this was my 1995 325is I wouldn't think twice about it.
I guess I will wait till someone makes stealth bulbs that are actually error free.
