Another question, you said to buy 18 mini led to replace the mini bulbs, I just replaced the 18 but the 2 light brown mini bulbs are left to replace, does that mean there is no replacement for the light brown mini bulbs in the gauge cluster ?

Hi,

I checked the fuses and the are good.
You did not send me a diode but I bought the same part number as what you listed on your webpage.

I wonder if I did not damage the relay, I have 2 spares and 4 more diodes so I will mod another relay.

I’ll give you some news when I try another relay, may take a few weeks, I have a lot to do on the Z3 while in my garage for the winter.

Thanks

Jean Drolet

In reply to Jean Drolet. Hmm, not that I can remember. Is there a fuse that’s popped? Did I send you a diode?

Hi,

Question on the relay modification to avoid the LED hyperflashing :
I modified the relay, everything works fine except my hazard don’t work.
So I checked and the flashers all work when I use the flasher stack, so it is not the LED.
I then installed a non-modified relay (I have 2 stock/non-modified relays in spare) and the hazard are working, so the hazard button works.

Did you have the same issue ?

Thanks

Jean Drolet

Andrew, there was an update in your web page for the LED, quantity and location have neat white text in white blocks, so barely visible unless we zoom.

Thx

🙂 Would you be willing to part with one of them if you find them?

I don’t know anything about Schottky diodes to figure out an alternate one.

Hopefully you have my email and can contact me there.

Thanks!

In reply to Chuck. I'm pretty sure that I have three left. They're "somewhere" in my garage. Still working fine.

I think the modification should work if you only change out some of the bulbs since typically introducing an LED bulb into any turn signal circuit causes a rapid flash, but I didn’t test this specially. The head unit is a Joying unit. It’s held up well, but updating software is tricky over time. https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-newest-carplay-7-single-din-4gb-64gb-android-10-0-car-media-player.html

Cool work. Thanks for including all the links for reference.

Did you modify your flasher relay, and do you have any diodes left? I’m looking to update my M coupe to LED flashers but the 8A 45V diode referenced is now obsolete.
