E90 LCI tail light error

hello E90 post.

i am new to E90, and i got a wired problem with my tail light.
in the last few days, i got a triangle error on the cluster, and sometimes the right tail light is flicks, when in happen - the single "clicks" ticking faster like a burn bulb.
the LED does flick \ working not in full power.

this is familiar known issue with the E90? i cleaned the connectors but it didnt help.

any suggestion ?

See the 3rd post in this thread - hope you're still under warranty - good luck:

thanks for the comments
the car dont under warranty, if it was - this is the first thing i was do,
in Israel we got just 1 year warranty

this is really necessary to replace both sides?

what do you think about opening the tail light and renew the soldering ?

Same problem here and out of warranty. I have replaced the right turn assembly and the problem is still there, so it is not the light assembly. What does the left working light have to do with the right? why does one have to replace both lights? Just freaking annoying bmw electrical problems make the ownership of this car nightmare.

I did not mean to imply that it's necessary to replace both. My right tail lamp was working just fine but the dealer replaced both tail lamp assemblies per BMW technical bulletin. IDK if they replaced the connectors as well

Gotcha.

I looked at the connector and looks "CLEAN" to me. I just hope someone will chime in and point to what else to look or check.

Thank you.
