If you have daytime running lights turned on, try turning them off.

Daytime running light is one of the options in the menus in the dashboard. Look in your Owners Manual. If it's already turned off, it was the only thing I could think of.

Yes. The MINI sends voltage through the bulbs at regular intervals to make sure the bulbs work. That voltage is enough to flash the LED as LED takes so little juice. The fix was to program the car not to check that set of bulbs. The Carly app will allow you to configure that. I forget what exact bulbs were selected in the app. You can select all sorts of lights like side marker ones,etc. But that is your problem.

The HID upgrade was a direct replace for halogen bulbs?
