Issues changing lights to LEDs

Hi.

I'm here with a problem in my R55. My car has light sensor and when I open its door it turns on the interior lights, and keeps the minimums, license plate and speedometer on. Well since I changed PART of the lights to LEDs the story is being a bit different. As soon as I stop the car and open my door, it turns off everything with exception of the interior lights. The minimums, licence plate and speedometer go off.

Note that this doesn't happen when I open the passenger door. The courtesy lights of both doors are still with the original lights (LEDs haven't arrived for those yet).

Anyone knows why the hell does it turn off the lights that were supposed to be left on by default? I don't know if this happens to every MINI and that's why I've informed that my car has a light sensor. Either way, if I turn off the car, open my door (lights mentioned go off, except interior) and switch the lights from 'auto' to position 1 they all turn on again so I think it's not a short-circuit. Can this be a error in the software for changing the lights? And yes, all the LEDs are canbus.


Thank you.

João
