I received my LED's yesterday via UPS and had them installed in about 30 minutes thanks to the DIY on http://www.alkanol.com/e46/index.html .
So after they were installed I fired them up and they started flashing like a police car... i was like WTF? The flashed for a minute then stopped then remained burning perfectly. I have to say I am so impressed with this mod, money well spent, the back of the car looks so clean w/ LED"s. (I got my retrofit from Circle BMW at a great price)
So now I had the taillight out warnings on the dash. I took it to the dealership this morning and they followed the LED retrofit path for the LCM. They said the lights flashing like an emergency vehicle is normal due to the LCM trying to check the bulbs. Anyhow, the recoding of the LCM was quick and free. One strange thing that did happen though is that the car/key memory settings were lost completely, so I had to go through the settings again w/ my service manager.
So all in all, it was a great experience, worth the money, and the car looks so bad @ss with them. :thumbup:
