All I can say for now is that it looks awesome The color is so much redder now, and since these ones have 42 lights (or something like that), it seems as if they are distributing just as much light as the regular bulbs, just more redder (probably since the LED's are red unlike the bulb that's white and therefor displays a more amber-ish light).
Here's two pics:
Might make another picture/video later when it's dark 
Edit: just in case anyone is wondering, these are the LED's I used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=200702835973 ...as you can see, they were less than 15 dollar and nothing was said about being error free.. I'm starting to believe you could actually get away with the cheaper LED's (I'm thinking of getting one of the cheaper amber LED's with more LED's than my current ones so it's more bright during the day), it's at least not a lot of money if it doesn't work out
Just wondering for my break lights.. the bulbs in the break lights are the exact same as the turn signals.. should I get the same LED's or should I get some with more LED's to make the breaklights even more visible? Kind of feel I should since breaklights are most important |
Hi svache, I should be receiving my 335i (U.S. Spec) here in Germany sometime next week
...finally! So after learning that the U.S. models have Red turn signal vs Amber on European models in the tail lights, I see you changed the ones on your car with red LEDs. Is the OEM bulb actually red or is the actual rear light housing that gives the red color for the turn signal in the top corner? I actually like how the amber turn signal looks on European models, but haven't been close enough to one to compare how much the tail lights differ to the ones on U.S. models. Can I change that by just changing the bulb to an amber color one or does it requires the whole light panel to be replaced with one for european models? I'm looking into replacing the turn signal bulbs with LEDs, but wanted to verify before I order any. Thanks!
