Sorry for the late response. I am not sure if I will be able to post a video with detail review but overall I am very happy with these lights and no issues in two months. They are worth every penny that I spent and car looks complete with these lights

Do you need coding or get error after fitting? Are they really plug and play which i can do myself?
No errors at all. Its purely plug and play as long as you know how to remove bumper and the headlights. The vendor also told me that they will post tutorials very soon for the complete process

No flickering on startup? Iv'e got flickering.

Also I'd like to add that I coded out the checks for low, high and DRL. Not sure if i need to add in the left and right blinkers but it appears the low beam is the light that flickers on startup.

Very rare. I started starting the car with lights off and turn them on after few seconds. You can turn the flickering completely off by coding but its not worth it.

You stated you coded the cold/warm checks out....but did you code the low/high bulbs to be LED?

FL_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
FL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
FL_R_IS_LED = aktiv

FL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
FL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
FL_L_IS_LED = aktiv

Pay the money for the OEM led fog lights, if you purchased the Umnitza LED headlights, they'll match relatively close in terms of looks and color.

How hard is that install? does it require a wiring harness or coding?
I can't find an OEM for the 2015 328i

OEM LED fogs

Just like changing out a bulb, no additional wiring from what I've seen, but, like with any led bulb, you will need to code

How would the LED Fogs look/work if I did not code them?

They would just flicker on start up and every 10 or 15 minutes if you went the bulb route, the LED assemblies I believe won't function properly if they are not coded.

Umnitza says no flickering and no coding needed (I am getting the anti-flicker harness).
I'll post a thread once they come in and my results.

The luxen one matches pretty close too w/o any need of coding.

Just a follow up. I got OEM LED fogs, got them installed and coded. Thanks for all the help. Love them with my new Umnitza lights.
