Hi guys,

We are back!!!
Thanks for bearing with us while we were away for 2 weeks and supporting our authorised dealers for the GSS promo.

Moving on to the month of July, we have in store more interesting updates.

For starters, we have officially introduced a new service - the Liquid Electrical Tape, we call it LiquidE in short.
You guys can find the new thread on that.
http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/newforums/index.php?/topic/39123-bimshop-liquid-electrical-insulation-services/

As for the GSS promo, we will be putting up more promo items.
Actually, we will be giving GSS discounts off all items. Its just that we have too many items that we can't do up so many promo posters for that. You guys can contact us directly to enquire on any item that you are interested in.

As per the feedback from some customers, we will be starting some new threads/revamping some existing ones with more pictures of our products modded on customers' rides besides the FB ones as some of you are non-FB goers.

Stay tuned for the month of July, we will have more fun stuff as usual ;)

Diagnosis: Even though wires have been wrapped with heat shrink, the ends where the wires meet are exposed and touching, resulting in shorting and no light.
Treatment: Liquid E Tape on the 3 wires
Result: AE Ring light and High Beam (Passenger side) back to working condition

Preventive Spotting

In some of our upcoming posts, we will be sharing with your how to spot potential wiring problems before it get worse, shorting up lights and other electrical components. These are common problems that we have encountered on many rides we have done which most of you would have no idea of, cos not many of you work up close with vehicles that often.

With the car aging, wear n tear and given the hot weather in Singapore, our wiring usually starts cracking and peeling after 4-5 years. The rubber insulation will flake off without any of you noticing it cos its all hidden in the headlight set and only time when u guys really take notice is when your lights start to go bonkers.

For today, we will share with you our observation on the BMW E60lci.
We will start on the AE wiring.
In the following picture, you will notice the cable tie when we have circled in yellow.
It is a standard item on all E60lci, all your AE wiring are held together by this little black cable tie.
With time, the wiring insulation rots and what's left are the badly exposed wires held together by this cable tie.
Holding 2 naked wires together at such close proximity usually leads to shorting.
Your lights don't die instantly but its something like a slow death.
If not addressed, whatever new lights put inside will have the same problem and given the further deterioration of the wiring insulation, the lights will probably die at a faster rate. Worst case scenario would be the shorting of other electrical components such as the FRM etc.
