Reverse Light Bulbs (Back-Up Lights)

MyE92 · 12-20-2007, 04:53 PM

I was just curious, what size bulb is used for the reverse lights on an E92? I want to change them to either LEDs or Hyperwhites. Who sells them?

I went to hid-lights.com, they have so many different versions of that bulb (1156). Which one did you pick? Because I dont want to order them and have an error. Thanks.

Someone mentioned LED, I've also tried that, but I got an error code, do you guys (who has LED) get that?

that's because you didn't use load equalizers. the led reverse and turn signal bulbs with the load eq's can be purchased from www.jlevisw.com

No the car does not adjust to the new bulb, the bulbs you have are designed not to give the bulb out warning. I wish i had seen these before i got mine. However the ones i got are 32 led and are really bright and clean. I can finally see through my tint when i'm backing up at night.
