Just so you all know, they stopped working on Nov. 6th 2015.

I'll post again when they work again (any time now I reckon)  )

And here we are again. One week of no wet, sunshiney stuff, and they're working again! I was even on my knees listening for ticking on Sunday. Identified 3 out of the 8 that were duff, decided to bite the bullet and replace the lot. The lo and behold, they blipped at me correctly while parallel park...

[quote="chrisn7"] There seems to be conflicting info in these posts on dual filament or not. Maybe this will help? http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/e53/BMW%20X5%20Tail%20Lamp%20Assembly%20Repair.pdf [/quote] I think you! Just done this to both sides of my rears. The Bulb Holders still see...

Yep, as i suspected. They worked just fine all year.

Try for re balancing first. Helluva lot cheaper than replacing four boots  :'(

My Computer says that too. I never trust computers. But that's what it says.

Well chaps n chappeses. Very pleased with that result. An hour with the drill (After the cordless one lasted about 60 seconds) and theyre LOADS clearer. Didn't have the presence of thought to do ''Before '' Pics  - Sorry. http://i58.tinypic.com/ibxnd5.jpg Looks great after my mates at the hand car w...

Maguires kit plus extra pot ordered and that's my Saturday morning taken care of.

I'll have a poke around then.

Mr. Salisbury, It's the lenses that are grimey and horrid.

G'day Fellas (N Gals) My Headlights are ruining the look of my lovely (11 year old) X5. They're yellow and nasty and hazy. I phoned the stealer to enquire about replacement costs, and the least said about that encounter the better  :blink: I've seen a few after market ones on ebay, but I didnt reall...

Can someone indicate where they feck they are? Mine sound awful but I'm not really up to a full bumper removal!

Tested with both my Iphone4s and daughter number ones Ipod. Both do the same thing. As soon as you connect to power, it bombs out the connection. and refuses to let you have the AUX function while connected to power.
