MTEC (angels) flicker before lighting..normal? (also failure)

chenry · 10-21-2012, 06:04 PM

so i have MTEC (MT-615) installed in my E90 for my angel eyes- like them a lot / but....before they "light" they flicker, flicker, flicker then light...is this normal? And I just had one fail...will be covered under warranty but a PITA nonetheless after 4 months of ownership (failure is the light is at about 10% of what it should be)

Thanks

Its is a E90 sedan then yes that sounds normal. Most all aftermarket LED lights will flicker upon startup. The car is doing a self check of the exterior lights and this causes the angel eyes to flicker.

Yep, and I believe this can be resolved by getting the bulb-check coded out.
