Angel Eye Help please

Hi guys, I drive a 2011 335 xDrive msport sedan (LCI e90) - I installed LUX H8 160 LED Angel eyes a few years back and they have been great.

yesterday while driving I got a notifcation on the dash that my left parking/daytime running bulb is out, looking at the front my car with the daytime running lights on both angel eyes appear to be working but the lamp on the left is a bit dimmer. Is there a separate bulb for parking lamp other than the angel eye i replaced?

Appreciate any insights,

thanks

It's a False Positive.
The warm and Cold Bulb Check is saying your bulb is out.
Most likely if you installed After Market Bulb with a Ballast of any kind......the Balast is gone bad......but it still works fine.
Consider coding your Car to delete Warm and Cold Bulb checks.

Many thanks to LuxAngelEyes, great customer service, after some correspondence back and forth they helped me figure out the problem and shipped me a new angel eye. I would highly recommend dealing with them and I plan to in the future.

Thanks again!
