unbelievable this actually works. Took about 20 minutes to get my left running light back operational. I am proud of myself for getting this done with the help of this great video. saved a ton of $$.

@ags6470 Год назад

With time, 3 of 4 lights of my f25 went down. Bmw wanted to charge 375 + 281 + 281 euros to fix them. Thanks to you it's been 38 euros and 40 minutes work. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this. I paid $430 at the dealer for the right-hand side two and now feel ripped off. I replaced the 2 on the left in 20 minutes along with melting the plastic to hold the thinner chip instead of using electrical tape. Awesome. Doing this myself cost me $25 and my time. I wish there was more transparency at the dealer. Overpriced service and parts.

@codmw2rocks1000 2 года назад

Awesome video!! Thanks so much… Mine is a 2011 95k miles and just got the rear outer one damaged, inner ones never have turned on, my mom had a 2014 and never came on either, do all versions turn on? Or are the boards probably bad also? Many thanks again!

@manuelalejandro5621 2 года назад

hello, thanks for your video, can you tell me how to find that spare part for the stop LED please.

@adamlee5504 2 года назад

Did you experience any radio interference? I read some reviews and the remote and tpms sensors were affected.

@nicadair7700 Год назад

Same problems on the BMW E92s, however more difficult to put right though still possible. The LEDs stop functioning due to a dry joint on the circuit board, to access the circuit board the plastic has to be cut or melted away from the back of the assembly because the whole unit is enclosed.

@bhcrls1 3 года назад

Nice easy fix. The dealer wants 100s of dollars to buy a new light assembly!

@2507979501123 2 года назад

Hello. Can those LED lights be replaced in the front headlight to?

@MichaelBernardo Год назад

I fixed mine by reheating every solder point visible using a soldering iron. Didn't even need to remove the old board.

@tenzabuilds6290 Год назад

Great fix! If you know how to solder, this is a good way to repair it.

Bought the four Panel from the link for a UK 2013 F25 X3, opened the light housing but there is no Panel or wiring for it there..... might it be a different LED system for UK?

@kayoodiknick3305 2 года назад

Exactly. I just pulled my panel on my F25 only to see that other than the very first connector he removed, there was no chip, no board or even any other wires in there, only 2 light bulbs that I verified works. Now I am stymied again. Anyone have this issue as well?

I’ll be honest. I don’t fully remember what tools it takes. But if the screws have a 6 sided Star looking head. You’ll need torque bits. You could also send me pictures on Instagram if you need more help. @Tenza_motorsports

My dealership is telling that these inner trunk light is not suppose to turn on for BMW X3. As far as i remember it was working before. Can you please let me know if these tailgate lights are specific to certain model of X3? I have 2017 BMW X3. Please help.

@tenzabuilds6290 2 года назад

The tailgate lights are supposed to be working. The x3 we have here is the F25 model

@pignapoke6772 2 года назад

My certified BMW mechanic wanted to give me new assemblies at $398 EACH. I laughed at him. Then he tried to soldier the boards. I've seen videos on that also. (You might have too. Guy working in the dark and "repairing" then.) Guaranteed that as soon as temp rises, those lights will go out again as his repair cracks. Thanks for this video kid!

@adfdfxcvxvxcvcx Год назад

Does that board also control the inboard tailgate lights. They are incandescent and one is not working. It's not the bulb.

@tenzabuilds6290 Год назад

Yes they should all use the same chip. The kit I link in the description have all four parts. Two on each side. One for each tail light piece

@hillaryboyd5678 2 года назад

do the control boards work if the X3 does not have LED lights?

@tenzabuilds6290 2 года назад

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure this is only for this exact tail light

How to fix LED tail lights on F25 X3 I have no light on the right side of my car. I replaced the control board with a new one, but it still doesn't work, and there is still no light. I discovered that there is no issue with both the control board and the bulb. Could there be another issue, such as cables or a fuse, causing this?

@tenzabuilds6290 8 месяцев назад

I really don’t know I would check fuses first. Sorry for the late reply. Did you end up fixing it?
