E46 facelift sidelight issue, any advice please.
Discussion
Anyone able to shed any light (pardon the pun) on my sidelight issue?
Changed headlight bulbs and sidelight bulbs today as one headlight had blown. Put normal bulbs in headlights but LED ones for sidelights. (They were only £1 more so thought why not ehh?) Worked fine initially but then my warning light on the dash came on again. Read online then that the LED ones cause the dash light to come on so thought it's easier to put standard ones back in, but now they don't work. If I put the LEDs back in they work but flash unless I turn the sidelights on. With them in the indicators illuminate like they do if a sidelight fails.
I'm proper confused!

You need to get the fault free LED's & you won't have any problemsChanged headlight bulbs and sidelight bulbs today as one headlight had blown.
