Ok so I recently installed my new set of Blackline LED tail lights on my 2006 e90. Had an issue with the brake lights not working when the engine was running. Installed some anti-flicker modules from Jlevi Streetwerks and all is well with the brake lights.
I now noticed a new issue this time with the LED turn signals. When the car is off they work great. All you hear is the flasher relay clicking. When I start the engine instead of hearing the flasher relay you also hear a heavy buzzing with each relay click. The couple of things I came up with are:
To much voltage going to the turn signal circuit when car is running
To much amprage going to the turn signal when the car is running.
To low voltage
To low amprage
Now the question is will any of these potential issues damage the LEDs? I would really like to get some help troubleshooting to see if I can find a solution whether that be adding a resistor or capacitor or even craking open the housings and changing out the relay. I need to find out what the actual issue is first though. Any volunteers?
