Well he said he installed them and it looks like Mike_L also has them so we should be good!

As for the flicker, how come you havent coded out the check?

They've been in for about a month now. They are from Horizon, and way brighter than stock.

They are coded, but when you first start the car they still flicker. I think Scott coded out the cold check but not the hot check, or maybe the other way around.

OK I am stoked though disappointed in Zain for not getting back to me on the reverse bulbs. I am hoping the brighter light will help my backup camera at night. Because the camera "Sees" some of my white bumper it makes the rest of the area behind the bumper so dark I cant see anything which of course defeats the purpose of the camera in the first place.

Gotcha...gotta code out:

REM / 3061 / RFS_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG from aktiv to nicht_aktiv
REM / 3061 / RFS_L_WARMUERBERWACHUNG from aktiv to nicht_aktiv
REM / 3061 / RFS_L_IS_LED from nicht_aktiv to aktiv
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG from aktiv to nicht_aktiv
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_WARMUERBERWACHUNG from aktiv to nicht_aktiv
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_IS_LED from nicht_aktiv to aktiv

Wait just to confirm, we did order the right lights? Because my order just shipped.

What do you mean? Are you worried you ordered the wrong lights from Horizon?

Haha I ordered the same PW24W or something like that, they're supposed to be correct, I'm just hoping Mike confirms it.

I think we are good. The reverse lights that fit our cars are PW24W. Before I saw the Horizon ones I purchased some off ebay that was posted in the other thread. I should get them by Monday. I will install and let you know.

I can't confirm it, because the GT uses P21W for the backups. The 4 series uses something different. The true only way to tell is to look at the old bulb, because as Zain told me yesterday after I got the wrong front turn signals, even the manuals and ETK are wrong. BMW doesn't know what BMW is using in their cars.

Thank you all guys, this community is so helpful, it's beyond description!

I did it brake, both turn signals but for rear got the brake and signals red, they look very nice and sharp

Cool. Where did you get your LEDs from? I did a combination of Horizon, Weisslicht, and EBay.

Haha it's alright, I'm probably going to get mine by late this week or early next week, will do the same.

I actually got the lights today! They look like good quality.

tboooe · 03-16-2015, 04:46 PM

OK I installed one side and it fits and works fine. Its hard to tell right now because its daylight but the LED does seem brighter. I am going to wait until it gets a bit darker her and make a comparison video.

It's much smaller than the in the pictures which is a relief! Thank you so much, can't wait for mine to arrive as well. Will post pics and a comparison video as I did with the previous led install.

Seems like you guys have this all sorted but if you need another vendor option I use highperformancebulbs.com. I just send him an email with make model and bulb I want to swap for LED and he sends me the correct one every time. Excellent high quality LEDs. Much cheaper than bimmian as well.

Note that these are not from Horizon which are a bit longer. I got these on ebay right before I saw your post about Horizon having them. Dont worry about the length, there is plenty of space in the light housing.

Mike_L · 03-17-2015, 10:32 AM

As long as you brought up Horizon, I heard from Zain yesterday. 50W brake bulbs will be available the beginning of next week. He's expecting them this Friday.

Another $21 in shipping.

Here is another option from ebay which I am going to get. The reverse LEDs I got from ebay seem just as nice as the Horizon or Weisslicht LEDs I spent much more money on.
