issues with mtec v3 angel eyes!

_shim · 12-30-2010, 10:34 PM

so... i installed some mtec v3 bulbs in my pre-lci e90 today but they won't turn on.. When I unlock the car, they usually turn on but sometimes they don't.. and they won't turn on at all when the car is running - i have no idea what the problem could be.. anyone have any ideas?

As I installed them myself, I'm pretty sure this isn't the issue, but I'll keep that in mind when I check again tomorrow morning..

Thanks for your input though!

Anyone else?

BUMP. anyone else have any input?

It sounds like the contacts were plugged in backwards. Go back to the unit and swap the +/- wiring around. This will resolve the issue.

Lux or mtec? What do we think?

+1 sounds like you wired the connection wrong..
I think you mixed up the positives and negatives.

contact the company you bought them from.

Did you resolve your problem?

I have just bought MTEC V3 too and I am interested.

Can you post (or send me trough PM) photos of your bulbs so that I can compare with mines?
