Have you had your LED tail lights reflashed?

brickbreaker · Thu, Apr-03-2008, 04:01:48 AM

I just installed the OEM LED's tails and I need to bring my car to the dealership to get the lights reflashed. I'd like to go to a dealer that 1) has done it before so I don't get

and 2) somewhere reasonably priced. I'm in Manhattan and want to keep the drive to under 30 minutes.

How much did you pay? Which dealership? and how recently did you have it done?

Thanks in advance.

I got mine as a gift and I had it brought to the dealer, but when reflashed i lost the single side parking light feature (you know, when the car is off and you use the left or right signal to leave the corners illuminated)
so make sure you can still do it after reflash...

um. This kid has the proper software, The GT1 or whatever... He programmed my Xenon headlights for a halogen- HID conversion, retrofit etc, and he also did an alarm setup on my car. He's really skilled.

i'll PM you his number, and tell him Fatalflash with the black facelifted 325ci gave it to you he'll cut you a break, hes local to us.

if anyone else is interested, his name is SAMMY V on e46 fanatics idk about this forum

This is an old thread, but I have to get this done so I wanted to see what other people have paid. I have been quoted $120 at Bergstrom/Enterprise in Appleton, WI

reflashing gets rid of the tail light out warning on the dash......this is done after you install the LEDs that came standard on 2003.5+ M3s
