    E39 facelift - voltage on AE bulbs 11v

    I measured my AE bulb current today and its only 11v even when the car is on idle charging 14-14.4v ? Why is this? I just installed a new 95ah AGM battery also that holds 12.7v. It's a 2001 525Dat, lcm3 module. Any thoughts?

    probably because the light bulb needs only 11v...LCM can regulate the voltages

    How come i get 11v, and another guy here in Norway gets 11.7v on the same car, even facelift car also? I dont get that. With 11v i cant get enough voltage to use my RGB AE bulbs either as they need a minimum of 12v to function properly.
