Angel Eye/DRL Problem

tys90 · 09-13-2010, 11:22 AM

My car suddenly won't turn on the DRLs/Angel Eyes in any light switch position. I'm not getting any sort of dash light or code. When I press the unlock button they don't turn on either although the amber turn signals flash. This happened sometime yesterday between drives. It was working in the morning and then didn't in the afternoon or today.

2007 e92, no iDrive. I do have the LUX LED angel eyes installed although anytime I had a problem in the past it was just one was loose and I got a dash light warning. Since it's both lights and I have no warning I'm sorta confused.

Can anyone help me out here? I did a search but didn't come up with much.

EDIT: Looked at all my settings to make sure pathway and DRLs are on and they are. Even changed some of the settings to see if I could get them on and it didn't help.

Nothing?

are you using the same key?

Yeah, I'm going to try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes

Disconnecting the battery didn't help. I tried unplugging the angel eye harness to trigger a code/dash light but that did nothing. The problem is, I have no idea why that would NOT trigger a dash light. I have to think that the lights are working but there is another problem, perhaps with the computer?

Next step is to try the stock bulbs. Ugh, my hands are made for taking those things in and out
