MTECH AE Installation on e90...HELLLLPPPP ~~~~

FarSeide · 09-25-2010, 11:17 PM

I searched and only came up with threads with no answers so I'm hoping I can get some assistance.

I purchased a "Brand New" set of MTECH AE Ver. 2. After installation, I noticed that driver side AE's were a lot "Yellower" than the passenger side which was super white.

I adjusted several time but was unable to match the color or the brightness from the passenger side.

Only thing I wasnt able to do was swap Passenger side to Driver side to see if its MTECH or the AEs.

Anyone else had this issue ?

Thanks in advance for your help

sounds like 1 module has gone bad. I doubt adjusting them will fix the color variance. try to get them swapped out under warranty.

The issue was one of the AE had a missing glass that sits in front of the LED bulb. So although it was emitting light, it was emitting it at different shade.

I already contacted the seller from this forum and he will handle it for me.

Frustrating issue but glad its getting resolved.

Thanks for your response.
