Anyone find LED Dome / Map Lights that stay on?

I've tried so many LED 6000K bulbs trying to find some that the computers will not think are shorted out and turn off.

Has anyone found any that will work? Or is there some coding that can be done so they aren't shut off after short period?

You might look at LASFIT bulbs. They seem to be a lot better quality that some of the cheaper LED bulbs (some look literally like copies of them) and they have resistors that work OK with my E90.

Someone told me there was coding that needed to be done.
I know I had the full kit from ECS and all but the rear center dome failed on me.

I was told there's something about 'cold bulb test' that makes them quit. I can't verify that for fact though.

I've had this kit installed for ~15 months with no issues:
