Does anyone here have any experience with them?
They seem to be a newer offering, so I'm curious to know how they compare to existing stuff from V-LED or Highperformancebulbs. In particular, I'm looking at the PY24W turn signal (amber) and H11 fog light bulbs for my e92. I stumbled across it here: http://www.bimmian.com/WeissLicht-LE...r-E93-3-Series http://www.bimmian.com/WeissLicht-LE...r-E93-3-Series What do you guys think? Any other suggestions are welcome...

We have a similar option (higher quality) coming out soon. I'll see if I can get some teaser info for you guys in the next couple days.
To be honest though, the current high powered option we sell is plenty bright. I had it on my personal car. |

I have the new WeissLicht Spektrum Turn Signal bulbs in Amber but haven't installed them yet
I didn't like the old Weisslicht AE LED's they sold with the LED's on the end of arms - but these new turn bulbs looked promising, they were on promo sale when they 1st came out, & they have a Lifetime Warranty - so I thought I'd give them a try...

Jeff - do you sell HID/LED fogs that will not throw an error on a 335 build date 6/07? Will the new option work on this car error-free also?

Therefore, I recommend getting in touch with someone local who does coding just in case or roll the dice. |

I have the brightest HPB py24y, but I don't mind having a brighter option. My headlights are blacked out, and the turn signal is not as bright anymore due to the blackout. |

I'm not sure if they would throw codes on a BMW though. They are a brighter PY24W. I'll ask them what's up with them. I know they have them they just haven't listed them or brought them forward to the market yet. |

OK, finally got the Spektrum Turn LED's installed
Had to switch over to the summer wheels/rubber, so it was oppertune time to do the install - since I have to take off front half of wheel well liner to access the bulb on my E92.
Light fills the housing entirely when flashing & MUCH brighter than OEM (I'd say around 3X brighter). I got the Amber version. Of course, because they are LED, the flashing is very quik & crisp. The bulbs are concealed fairly well and not overly noticeable over the OEM bulb when not lit. I coded out the Front Turn Signal Error Reporting, Cold Check, & Warm Check - so no problems with any flickering upon startup. I would highly recommend the Spektrum LED Turns as a viable option for front signals Call me pleasantly surprised, as I have had the Weisslicht LED AE's & Sidemarkers in the past - both were far from optimum - guess they finally got it right with these. Lifetime warranty doesn't hurt either ![]() I think all the versions are on sale right now for $10 off normal price...

There is a new one coming out; I've been asking HPB to add to site for the past couple weeks but they are just simply swamped. I'll push them again this week to get us some more information. |

I'd have to see any LED bulbs, especially fog lights, in person before I piss away any more cash on an LED lighting solution where brightness and lighting distance counts.

These put out 80 watts of light output but only run at 7-15 Watt of power. 7W as a parking light and 15W as a blinker. They do not run too hot or melt your housing or any other false accusations Spektrum makes about them. Ours are also CREE LED, the competition uses Osram and Philips which are good but not as good as CREE.

Is it better to do it through you or through the website? Also, two questions... Is the white led brighter than Amber? Would the white led match the color of OSS v4 rings? Thanks again for the info of the product. |

The white LED is about as pure white as you can go without getting a blue tint or hue to develop. These coupled with my white LED front turn signals and DEPO LED side markers was enough to trip the low voltage bulb out warning. If you do what I did, turn off the bulb warm and cold checks and everything will be back to normal. It has to be coded out if you go to a full LED system so if you don't know how to code, find someone in your area that will do it for a 6 pack or something.
