Hi,ive just changed my rear lights on my bmw e39 estate. They now seem to flicker as the previos lights were bulbs the new ones are LEDs.Can this be fixed?

Ideas in the link for not changing gears. Seems a known issue.

Hi Ashraf.

Fuse F54 should be rated at 15 amps and it is for the FUEL PUMP

Good information on ALL fuses here

Hi, try to locate the power source for this light,Test the light from this end, possibly may be a loose fitting or could have unplugged. Best of luck.

There has to be a way to access the bulb without replacing the whole unit-or BMW will be out of business soon. Maybe from the back where it's mounted, or maybe the lens is stuck to the unit by its waterproof rubber seal. Keep trying. All I can say.

Go here to download the factory manual for a small fee.

Did you use LED replacement bulbs or standard bulbs?

If you used LEDs then THAT'S you problem.

This is your rear parking/backup/taillight warning burned out bulb indicator.One or more of your rear lights is burned out.A simple bulb inspection and replace will take care of the trick.Hope I could help...

ABS/ASC module is faulty
CLASSIC ABS FAILURE SYMPTOMS:
- Most of the time, the problem is the ABS module or one of the 4 wheel speed sensors (& sometimes the brake pressure sensor)
- In my 2002 BMW E39 DSC, three orange (warning) cluster display lights lit, ABS, Brake, & DSC
- The 3 warning lights reset when the ignition is turned off, only to repeatedly reappear within minutes of normal driving
- The fault is often intermittent leading you to falsely believe you've resolved the problem (proper diagnosis is important)
- Sometimes the fault only appears when the engine is hot; other times only at speeds over 40 mph
- Carsoft may erroneously show a rear speed sensor failure; but just replacing the speed sensor may make no difference.
- All the work is in correct diagnosis of the problem; parts replacement is trivial (from 1 to six bolts in a few minutes)
- Hence, this BMW E39 ABS 3-warning light DIY will concentrate on understanding and diagnosis of the problem

Remove arm(s), put wiper motor in park,(shut off) then re-install arm at base of windshield where they were before,when shut off.(in park position.)

there are 3 things that make the xenon in your car work the bulb, an ignitor, and a control module, you know your bulbs are ok so thats good, now you will want to swap the control modules they are a metal box attached to the headlight assembly its roughly 4"x4" you will remove the hheadlight assemblys to get to the module, there are 4 8mm bolts and then it pulls out, it the light follows the control module then thats what you will need if not you will need an ignigtor, as far as the flickering that is moet likely the module going bad, the company that makes this system is AL (automotive lighting) there is an SIB from BMW about this that says under a warr claim both control modules are to be replaced and the bulb of the faulty headlight, however i cant count the number of times i have done all that and still have to replace the ignigtor, If it is the Ign that is alot harder to swap as you have to dis assembly the entire light assembly
