B&W Lights Not Working Consistently (Solved: I’m an idiot)

Jakerx · 09-01-2023, 11:43 PM

So I haven’t driven my car much lately, especially at night. I noticed something weird tonight that I don’t really know how long has been the case:

When my car unlocks, the B&W speakers illuminate, but after a few seconds they fade away. No big deal. However, when actually driving, even if the B&W illumination is activated in light settings, they won’t illuminate. Any idea what could be the issue?

2020 pre-LCI model. Just under 10K miles. Only coding I have done is the LCI tail lights and adaptive high beam assist.

Make sure the radio isn’t off

Turn on the music

Edit: I retract my previous statement. I guess music wasn’t on after all. It’s working fine now. I drove my other car around all day yesterday and went to go fill gas in the M5 late at night and must’ve been thinking about music in my other ride.
