Legend for this. I've drove my e91 for 2 years with that alert.... until now mad love brother from the Isle of Man

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@nozislam]

I own an identical car as in the video. The best way to identify which bulb has gone is when the bulb warning shows on the dash hold down on the select button on the indicator stick for a few seconds, it will show a fault code such as CC-ID 134, you can then Google that fault code and it will tell you which bulb it relates to. I had a rear brake and reverse light go at the same time, so would get 2 bongs. Following the same step as above you can actually see the next fault code by using the scroll button on the windscreen wiper stick.

I just pulled this thing out, put my phone on video, started the car, pressed the brake, stopped the car and watched the video back. Then I knew which bulb to replace😂

Thanks!!! One of my headlight bulbs was out so I replaced it but I couldn't figure out why my warning light was still on. Just verified and replaced the rear bulb that was out. I couldn't tell it was out until I removed the rear light casing. All good now!

Was wondering mate what kind of bulb I’m terms of voltage and general power the bulb you use is running on. On my dads E90 (55) model I’m certain that side bulb is gone so thought I’d ask before checking it myself or buying a bulb

[@aaanton11]

Depends which one has blown, easy to pop the unit out and have a look they are all 12volts, you wont go far wrong with one of these amzn.to/454m7Kx Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11 appreciate that, so I just thought let me just replace both and now no signs 👍

[@AlanL200Truckman]

Evening Ant. Good info as always. Great spot, difficult to see at first. Why didn't you replace those standard bulbs with a couple of DECENT LED bulbs each side as the rest of the light cluster is LED anyway? Keep up the great content mate. Stay lucky. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Alan L200

[@aaanton11]

I haven't had much luck finding an led bulb that wont set off the bulb warning light, maybe I need to look harder😵‍💫 Thanks Alan for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I have Auxito LEDs in a C1, Countryman, Navara, Ranger, 208 & Clio. Haven't had any warning lights on. They're superb for reverse bulbs. So bright

[@tinnail6569]

Mate, don’t know who you are or where you came from but over the course of this evening you’ve saved me at least £400 in potential investigations etc. Have you ever had an intermittent power loss with that 318? Literally split second, no problems with DPF or anything like that, like if you’ve been rolling at 40 in 4rd and then accelerate hard the car speeds up but then seems to choke? No idea where to start looking! Driving me mad!

@@aaanton11 thank you for your reply. I’ll give that a look, I don’t have the DTC option sadly (would like it!) I don’t get traction lighting up unnecessarily either or ABS. So frustrating!

Hi my e91 rear right boot lid light is not working any ideas

[@aaanton11]

check the bulbs, or the wire in the boot loom might be broken near the hinge, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Is there no LED bulbs that you could have used instead of the normal bulbs ? I change my Aygo side light and interior to LED and I have some to replace the centre brake light bulbs when I get some sealer to seal it up. 😁

[@aaanton11]

they can upset the bulb warning system, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@germancarfan]

You could code out the bulb check for those so LED wouldn't bring up errors, not sure if they will work on reduced voltage though as sidelights I think they run between 3v and 6v before turning 12v when brake pedal is pressed

I see BMW set a trap and almost everyone falls into it 😂(myself included), and that it is due to the fact that they placed 2 brake bulbs for each side and at first glance it is hard to see if a bulb is burned out.
