Description of the problem	The led twilights are defective. I've had this happen on 2 separate bmw x3's i have owned for a total of 4 taillights that are defective. This is a very common problem and is reported over and over again by other owners. It's almost certain that if you own a bmw x3 f25 (2011-2017) this will happen. It requires a diy repair to the circuit board or replacement of the entire taillight ($250-300 each.). Https://m. Youtube. Com/watch? V=jdpbm6cp_yo
