Hello everyone,
I've recently bought a used F30 imported from the USA, that is equipped with Adaptive LEDs. The car was hit on the left-hand side, so the US headlamp was changed to a European one. That caused the left side marker to switch off, while the US one still worked. After I bought the car, while coding some iDrive functions, I've asked serviceman to code my side marker off, as it is not mandatory in Poland where I live. After I got my car back, I have realized that after turning off right side marker, left front blinker refused to work at all. I changed the US headlight and turn signal module to brand new European ones. All modules were reset to previous values, and then coded back to Europe. After that, both blinkers started working, but the car started flashing "high beam error" occasionally, and "right cornering light error" after every right-hand turn. One of the right lamp sections stopped working too (marked as red in the image)... Then, I have changed left-hand side modules around with right-hand modules. Car stopped flashing errors, but not working section still doesn't work.

If anyone has an idea how to sort this problem out, please contact me. I have bought a car I have dreamed of, and I have enough of it after just 2 weeks.

Thanks in advice.

It might be the miss match between ECE headlight/modules and USDM headlight/modules.

But after flipping them around, that section still doesn't work, error messages disappeared though...

Also, on my car with VLD coded the interior half of the outside beam doesnt activate until the car is moving (15-25mph, not sure the exact value). You can see the difference because it activates that part in reverse, but once you put it in drive it turns it off until you are moving faster.
