LED Rear Indicator Bulbs
Hi,
Has anyone managed to source some error free Amber LED's for the rear indicators?..... ive bought shed loads of ebay, some claimed to be "Error Free" but still throw up an error every time used/start up the car. Ive now bought a set from the US which also come with load resistors, and claim to be 100% error free(my cousin lives in canada and has same set on his e93 and work without errors)...but are costly. ..i should receive them in a couple off days so will post up video |

i have leds as well, even with reistors they throw error but after using them 3 times after starting the car the message goes, am going to try some stronger resistors, they do look good though. also have the small side indicators no error with them or the brake lights.

i got them from autobulbs direct i think they are 955's no code errors but they cost £10 each and you need 4, i have just ordered some for the z4 from usa from a place on ebay which are more powerful and much cheaper at £15 a pair delivered if you are not in a hurry i will let you know what they are like when i get them. ive also ordered some of their indicator bulbs as well same price. if youre upgrading you can get 21w reverse light bulbs from autobulbs to replace the 16w ones at about £1-45 each.

just indicator....not looked into brake bulbs yet(there's too many on the market and ive not tested/ bought any yet)
Unless someone can recomend some brake led's that have been tested(error free) ..it may look like i keep going on abt error free, but id rather pay the extra and get a decent bit off kit rather than buy a cheap make and replace it every other week. |
