Generally when indicators flash fast it means that one or possibly more indicator lights are not working or plugged in correctly so dont worry about the ones flashing fast (as you know its the front indicator lights that aren't working)

You may have a fault with the way you've plugged in the new headlights or somethings gone faulty with the indicator relay (which would seem a bit coincidental)

You might be able to just call up your local sparky who can offer you better advice :D

Ive put in a new set of headlights coz i cracked my old ones (also have new bulbs and threw old ones out)

the headlights themselves work fine on both high and low beam.

its just the indicators that are giving me hassles.

With hazard lights all work except the front ones.

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting them, ive also tried using the plugs from the only set with the new bulbs

and no success.

nope..havent tried to rewire anything ...

I'll check the fuses when i get home and where would i find the earthing wire?

cheers :D

ok..so i was fidling around tonight....and i just realized...that the indicators only work when the hazard lights are used (minus the front ones which only come on..and stay on solid....when i turn the lights on)

when i sit in the car and indicate nothing happens on the dash and nothing happens outside...except for the front ones staying on ... :)

the earths are connected......i checked the starter indicator and the turn signal fuses and they were ok.

ideas ppl...throw em at me....

atm all i can think of doing is getting 2 gingys and hiding em under the hood and when i indicate it jabs em and they poke there head outside..... -_-

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
