Upgraded yellow DRL's flashing?

Anyone know why when i've put yellow drl's into my f32, they seem to flash on and off and then go off, when im driving they seem to be fine as far as im aware, but when my engine isnt on they flash then turn off,
I assume its something to do with the voltage dropping when its not running but im not 100% sure, if you have any insight please let me know?

Did you change to LED? If so they need coding.

Correct. If Bimmercode shows them already coded as LED then something else is remiss.

Bimmercode shows them as Active on led conversion? So i assume this means they have been changed to LED ones right? Didnt let me code anything yet as i need to purchase the full version but for DRL's it said active?

That probably indicates that the originals were LED, so the problem isn't the coding.

They isnt coding around it tho? Its just plug and play so unless the curcuit boards are just shit, could it not be a voltage issue?

It's the same voltage as you had before making the bulb switch. Logic says the bulbs are the problem.

You did buy them off AliExpress. Sometimes a deal isn't always a deal.
