Intermittent Adaptive Headlight Fault

So i have read all of the threads and posts regarding condensation and full "failure" of the adaptive headlights when using aftermarket LED bulbs in the AE slot, but i get a very random and intermittent adaptive headlight fault. It doesnt seem to matter if i am using the headlights in adaptive mode or non, and even when i get the fault, the headlights still follow my turns. I do have BMS AEs with the heat sinks and such, not tucked away as nicely as i should however.

Is this just leading up to full failure of the adaptive system? Should i just go back to stock AEs?

If you really love your LED's at least fix with some tape your ballasts on the light cover and closer to AE bulb. Make sure the wires of it can move freely with lights.

There was some threads how to put ballasts that it would not damage anything.

Turns out it was a footwell module. Dealer replaced it no questions, but I put the stock angel bulbs back in. Debating wether to put the LEDs back in or not.
