Question:

BMW 525i Brake Light Circuit warning?

The dash reads, Brake Light Circuit, but the brake lights work fine. What can I do to turn off the warning light on dash? Need to know from someone who really knows.

Answer:

we have seen this issue in some cases caused by a faulty relay sensor for the brake lights. This mostly occurs on E30 series BMW's, however.

Brake Light Circuit
Your warning light will show if there is a blown bulb, however if you say your lights are fine then check the wattage of the bulb fitted. If you or someone else has fitted aftermarket led tail lights then you will need a resistor fitted inline with the brake light circuit to fool the light control module that gives the error. your other option is to take it to bmw and have them recode the light control module. This will let it know that there is led lights fitted and to not show a warning light.
is it still ok to drive even with the brake light circuit is on?
