1999 - 2005 (E46) (1999 - 2005) Starting in 1999 the E46 3 Series picked up where the E36 left off. Larger, with smoother lines, and with more advanced engines than its predecessor, the E46 easily held the title of "Best Car of the Year" throughout its life.

LED Tail lights burned cells

Hi huys. I just noticed tonight that my DDM tuning led tails have burned cells in the yellow signaling part. What do i do? Is there a way to fix this by replacing only the burned LED or do I need to get the whole circuit with LEDs on them. Any advice is appreciated

Are they covered under any sort of warranty?

They are usually wired in series, so they usually go out by entire rows. Also the connections damage if the connecting cables are tight when installed. To repair them you have to open them. If you do post pics.

You will have to replace the entire tail light, they should be covered under warranty.
