sorry for all of the noob-ness. I'm stuck in the early 70's as far as car tech is concerned. I just switched ALL of my brake lights - but the check panel still lights up for brake light failure. Is there a switch somewhere that is bad or am i running the wrong bulbs?

Does it go away when you hit the brake pedal? -
No. It stays on all the time. I may be an e30 noob - but im not an idiot :)"We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

Are you sure you put the right type of bulb in there?
Did you replace the 3rd brake light aswell?Comment

Thats got to be it. I didn't touch the 3rd brake light. Maybe I am an idiot. :["We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

My other thought is - Did you put brass based bulbs in it? You have to use the Stainless based ones like OE or it will throw a signal in the Check Control due to the different resistance.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

They are just plain ol sylvania bulbs. I'm pretty sure the are not brass based."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment
