The fault causes the LED lights to dim or become inoperative. This often happens to just one side at a time, causing one side of the LED lights to be substantially dimmer than the other side (or not illuminated at all). BMW has addressed this by offering an updated taillight set that has modified circuitry to prevent the LED failure. The updated lights are sold as a set, in order to replace both the left and right taillights, preventing future failures of the original assemblies. The repair is as simple as replacing the two taillight assemblies. This can be done in under an hour and requires no special tools or wiring. Follow along as we replace the LED taillights with the upgraded BMW kit, to fix the failing right turn-signal/hazard LED lights on this 328i x-Drive. When you are ready to tackle the job, you can order the metric socket set (and have it for your further BMW or MINI DIY work) and the Taillight repair/replacement kit at bavauto.com or call our Advisors at 800-535-2002. When you are ready to tackle the job, you can order the tools and the cowl trim panel at bavauto.com or call our Advisors at 800-535-2002. PROCEDURE: 1) Open the trunk lid to access the left and right rear-side trim panels. On the passenger side, remove the battery cover trim panel by turning the locking knob. 2) The tail light harness plug and mounting fasteners can now be accessed. 3) Remove the taillight harness plug by pinching the locking tab and pulling the plug from the taillight plug housing. 4) The taillight assembly is secured to the body by three nuts secured to the mounting studs. Use an 8mm socket and ratchet to remove the three nuts. 5) Pull/push the taillight assembly rearward to remove it from the vehicle body. 6) Install the new taillight assembly in the reverse order or the removal. 7) Repeat steps for the driver side taillight.
