Any by-passing change to get rid of message? This will drive me crazy……..Help DamnYank 09-09-2007, 01:35 AM its hit or miss. i get it every now and then, seems to be popping up less and less. zx7rhitch 09-09-2007, 01:37 AM How long have had them? DamnYank 09-09-2007, 01:44 AM i guess they've been installed almost a month. it seems i get the message more often if i turn the lights on with the car not running. if i start the car before turning them on, seems i get the message less. CaptHerb 09-09-2007, 02:00 PM you can put an in-line resistor to get rid of the message. my apexcone race kits dont say anything. or the 5w bulb trick zx7rhitch 09-09-2007, 02:14 PM Sounds good to me where and what kind on a resistor zx7rhitch 09-09-2007, 04:00 PM If anyone is wanting to know how to fix the obc lbf click here.Im going to try this it looks like a great plan hope it works for me as well http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203520 habbie 09-09-2007, 04:17 PM If anyone is wanting to know how to fix the obc lbf click here.Im going to try this it looks like a great plan hope it works for me as well http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203520 dont do that just yet, cutting wires is not the best solution, i would do the resistors fix before this.give it a few days like we talked about. The Beastmaster 09-09-2007, 04:45 PM I'd rather tap 2 resistors in line, than to cut the factory harness. zx7rhitch 09-09-2007, 05:16 PM OK...Ill wait...what type of resistors do I need if this doesnt go away?Where do you place them?I have a one track mind and Im very impatient but will wait for the wisdom of the more knowledgable people. CaptHerb 09-09-2007, 10:33 PM what kind of hid do you have? i have 2 resistors that add on to hid kits to get rid of the message.

The ones I have are tapped into the low beam harness. robisconfusedd 09-09-2007, 11:26 PM dude you can do a resistor fix!??! what resistors do i get/where can i get them!? i've had the low beam fail message FOREVER and i just live with it but if i could fix it, that'd be awesome! gnarfy 09-10-2007, 03:28 PM If anyone is wanting to know how to fix the obc lbf click here.Im going to try this it looks like a great plan hope it works for me as well http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203520 It's the way to do.. done on my previous 99 M3, worked perfectly, done on the current 99 M3, work perfectly. so, DO IT ! ;-p zx7rhitch 09-10-2007, 08:20 PM Anybody know what type of resistor is needed?Where can I get them? bkroberts 09-11-2007, 02:27 AM Anybody know what type of resistor is needed?Where can I get them? ditto. Although it is a lovely write-up, I'd much prefer to install a resistor(s) and still retain the lbf function. thanks for the help!
