Update from my service on my left LED lights: A new relay was replaced today. No software update was required.

Default DRL came back on

So get this, 3 weeks ago my right side DRL went out took it into service and they ordered me a new module. I am still waiting for this to be delivered from overseas. Anyway I get in the Q this moring and while in traffic I notice that the faulty light is back on, and realize the error on the display isn't there either. I mention this to my wife and she said she noticed the error code in the morning about 2 months ago, didn't know what it was but by the time she was going to ask me about it it went away. Just thought I would share this. Has anybody else had this happen?

Probably would be easier to troubleshoot if it stays dead. I hope the new module fix the problem and its not a intermittent wiring problem.

Default Fixed

I had the module replaced yesterday and all is good. They did mention that there is some sort of issue with the harness for the trailer lights. On the work order the said that it had to be tightened down. I also had a squeek fixed that was atributed to a loose latch on the drivers side. I think it was the release to let the seats fall forward. And the headlights had to be adjusted down. i have never been flashed so much!

I was quite pleased with the service. They looked and fixed all my complaints. I was BMW last year with my wifes cooper and it seemed like they had an excuse for every issue I had.
