      installed mine and got a similar error. i tried starting the car, then turning on the lights and it doesn't seem to throw a code. it was daytime so i'm not 100% though.

        If you start the car and turn on the lights it should not throw a code. Just like HID headlights. These have a resistor inline but on initial juice do have lower amperage.

        As said I tested my 87, another early model a late model. Obviously every single E30 could be different with the way the Check Control panel works but I tested them first.

          That's what I did and I still get the error... I am really happy with how bright they are otherwise.

            Awesome. Glad you are happy with them :)

            What year is the car?

            Post a photo if you get a chance as well.

                Still throws a code On mine when I start the car then turn on the lights, but I'm okay with that at the moment at least. Here's how two 3x LED bulbs look:

                1988 M3

                        Which bulb type? The larger or smaller?
