What are some good white led or regular turn signals for tail lights for e92?

Looking for some white led/bulb turn signals for the tail lights of my e92. What are the best kinds and where can I find some? I'd go for something reasonable. Not too high in price.

An LED bulb in the turn signal of the pre-LCI taillights will result in looking like a single "dot" when it blinks. This pretty much makes it completely useless in the daytime and at night look completely cheap and annoying to the person driving behind you.

best way to get LED's for our cars is to get the LCI taillights. too bad they cost so damn much.

High performance bulbs has some but they require coding.

I had them in my car, but I didnt want to code my car. So I have nothing. They were brighter then stock but they hyperflashed. I didnt want to code the car so I took them out. Like I said, I dont sell them but www.highperformancebulbs.com can get them if you want to code.

Just email them.
