flickering rear indicator!?

Itr123 · 08-04-2023, 07:56 PM

I've fitted a nice pair of (genuine) lci rear lights to my m235i. All went well, or so I thought but over the past few days I've noticed the left indicator sometimes begins to flicker. I gave it a light tap and it sorted itself out!

Any ideas?

If you're lucky you screwed up the wiring and something is loose. If you're unlucky the LED board inside could be damaged (cracked, got wet, rust, etc). Remove the entire tail and put your flashers on and mess with the wiring and harness to see if you can make it flicker.
