@ ozarke
thanks, I think the ECM and CAN Bus is a little bit different by the keyless models 2+3

@ Charlie
I thought it already .... Could you solve it, and share your solution with me?

I put the LED in my 2011 convertible & it does "jiggle" quite a bit, not just at idle.  Has anyone found a solution to this?

When you installed it, did you notice if you have a headlamp vibration damper installed?  If not, try that and here is a link to the PN:67700059

I would help if I could! but mine was really a plug and play! never any errors showing and worked with no problems!
The only problem I did have was the exaggerated wobbling in the headlight beam! but! that's another story!!

I had no luck with this additional part to solve the LED vibration.
Mine was stock equiped with one smaller vibration damper and the new one had not fitted.
The "67700059 damper" are to big in combination with the LED headlight.

Sorry to hear that it did not solve your issue.  Honestly since I did not do it myself (service dept), not 100% sure they used the part to fix it, however my service manager never mislead me before.  After I tested mine I even sent him and the owner a thank you message for fixing my vibration problem 100% after I previously researched the part number on this sight. So I don't know what to say.  Best wishes and good luck.

 I ordered the part and am curious where it fits and how it works.  I just plugged the new led bulb in.  There is not much room in the housing but the part does not appear to be very large.

The Daymaker LED headlight was one of my first mods and they are great!


did you have the black background one fitted or is that chrome?

So did we ever decide if that headlight damper fixed the vibration?

Yes, it actually totally solved the vibration on mine.  Again, the dealer had no knowledge of it till I supplied the part number.  Then they ordered it, installed it for free and it's perfect!

Hadn't been on this site for a while and saw this post.  I did order the larger damper but it was way too big to fit with the LED bulb.  All I did was flip the smaller damper around and it cured 90% of the wobbling.

Did them all, much better.  No wobble of headlight noted.
