E92 sidemarker LED bulb question

Will using a 168 bulb from ebay give a 2007 e92 any error codes?

Thinking of getting these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T10-1...Q5fAccessories

I got my LED sidemarker lights from e92-lighting.com...and there are no problems with them. Mine are the ultra-white color, but I think they have them in amber as well. The ones shown in your link don't look right - the sidemarker bulbs are pretty small, about 1/4" in diameter.

I don't trust ebay bulbs anymore because the contact point is not good. Perhaps you may consider replacing the whole sidemarker with LED? I got mine from Jlevisw (no error)...smoked on black looks good. What is the color of your car?

I tried the LED side markers and while they worked - and didn't throw any codes - they did flash quickly every time I started the car. It bugged me so I returned them.
