seeing how they are charging 120-160 for a set...i decided to make my own. i didnt put a resistor in mine since i just coded my car to remove the cold and warm bulb test. But there is plenty of room to integrate a resistor inside the housing.

here is some pics, they are taken against a room lit by warm white CFLs which makes these pics a little more blue than they really are.

Next step on turn signals

I have these LED's f/ Jlevi now in my front turn signals lamps. they are very bright and pure white on both low voltage as w/ when just the running lights or headlights are on. Then super white w/ the turn signal on, and no error message on my 2008 E90, HID lighting. I did the same as before, filed off one tip of the bulb base so it will fit w/ no issues. Now the turn signals match the color of my Lux5 AE!

Glad you like them They are a good option for E90/E91 pre-LCI's.

For E92s/E93s that use the PY24W bulb, you can go with these:

Would these PY24W LED bulbs also work in a e82 ?

How come they flash so fast and out of sync(uneven) in that video link?

Ok, now I'm gonna sound like a total newbie...

What is a NFRM module? And how do you change the pulses/flashes?

Do you do that thru car coding or via a BT scan tool?


Thanks,
Dackel
