Got a price for the LED fogs from bmminiparts - £97 ex VAT each - guess I won't bother then!

Perhaps they are too new and not likely to have failed hence so expensive?

Where did you get them from and how much? I'm prepared to buy from a German or Dutch dealer if reasonably priced and they can perhaps order in advance?

I'd collect as over there late April.

...I ordered them at a german f30 forum dealer BMW Matthes in DE-Meiningen. We got a special offer of € 104,- each as we ordered nearly 20 sets. But normaly he also makes best quotes even if you ask for single offers.

I bought all modification there like Performance Interieur and Exterieur, PPK, Schnitzer springs, stand heating,...He also installs all these parts.

If you want to make more modifications please let me know, perhaps I can let you now know the prices for the standard parts and can arange a date to install.

What's 'stand heating'?

I'll see what I'd like to do and perhaps have done when in Germany - thanks!

I've done this retrofit and coded the following:

NSW_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_L_KURZSCHLUSS = nicht_aktiv
NSW_L_IS_LED = aktiv
NSW_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_KURZSCHLUSS = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_IS_LED = aktiv

Now it won't prompt Front fog light fault, and the fog lights won't flickering during ignition on.

But when the fog light switch on for certain time, it will flickering non-stop until I turned the fog light off and on again.

Any idea?

Hi Basya,

I've just received my f32 led fogs. Am wondering if you've managed to solve the issue of flickering with the fog lamps on.

Thanks and regards

I purchased the Weisslicht fog lights and installed and coded the above, yet still get the fog light malfunction on the dash. Is this only applicable to OEM BWM LED fogs?


Nevermind, the error went away after I actually started the engine.

As far as I know you have to do following against the flickering.

FEM_BODY MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 13,4V 100%
FEM_BODY MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 13,4V 100%

To set the power level to 100% do you edit the WERTE value directly? The only voltage options available on my car are 13.0 13.2 and 13.4. It's currently at 13.4 but only 86%

Also I noticed that after changing to LEDs and performing the coding (except for the PWM_LEVEL1) that I've lost the cornering function of the fog lights. The appropriate fogs don't come on with the indicator or when turning and also both fogs don't come on when reverse is selected. Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks for any assistance

Did you purchase the WeissLicht with the error canceler or just the bulb?

I got the error canceler but decided not to use it because it gets so hot. I did program to turn off error checking and haven't had issues with flickering or error messages.

So has anyone sorted ALL of the possible flickering with coding?

And what did you code exactly?

Thanks

Have done the retrofit on my F31 a few weeks ago.
I bought them by the same dealer as Fazerfahrer, great service there and best prices ever I guess.
Did the coding myself and no flikkering at all.
