My right angel eye is blinking

Snarson · 07-16-2014, 04:56 PM

Hi!

I have a problem with my right side angel eye.

When I have my car (2007 E90 335i) turned off and the light switched to "parking", both angel eyes working fine. But as soon as I turn on the car and switching to either parking or low beam mode and revving for the first time, the right angel eye starting to blinking and flickering all the time.

What do you guys think can cause this problem?

Thanks in advance!

First and easiest thing to find out where the problem is.

Move the kit from Left to Right. See if the problem moves. If the problem moves the parts are defective. If it stays there is an issue with the car/wiring/etc.

Wild stab but I bet the LED Driver(if equipped - sometimes resistor pack) has some type of issue.

I dont have time to fix it due to a car vacation today.

Is there a way to remove the fuse to disable the angel eye feature?

Do you have the stock angel eyes or an aftermarket brand. That would be very helpful to know

Assume aftermarket. With a halogen bulb(stock) I would find it really rare to see 'flickering' unless he had actually loose/fraying wires. But simply turning the car off/on/key-on wouldn't wiggle the wires around I don't think to make t flicker/not-flicker

Sorry, yes it is a aftermarket LED that the previous owner had installed.
