Installed the front turn signals Today and they seem to work fine. It is a major improvement over the amber bulbs. svache: did you 'hear' the turn signals when they accidently blinked? I did not notice it yet, but how often am I standing in front of my car with the signals on? Anyway, for those still doubting: it is a 5min job.

Nah, I noticed the occasional blink because I was coding in total darkness (just my laptop screen was on) and the front of my car was very close to a wall (like 2-3 centimeters away from it). So I noticed that, occasionally, there was a very dim (heel erg zacht) blink from time to time. I doubt you would be able to see it during daytime and it's probably hardly noticeable at night, especially when your regular lights are on. I have been thinking, since I was actually coding at that time, it is possible that my coding was causing it.

It probably sounds more difficult than it really is. It's also written in the manual with some pictures, but really, it's darn simple to do

The way I figured it, the F30 is so new, they don't know if it would fit or not. Sadly they don't update their data. As long as the fitting size is the same, you should be ok.
Word of caution to everyone about the occasional blinking: after we installed new fog lights (white xenon-like bulbs) tonight, we noticed that both the LED's on front and back were occasionally blinking. I also noticed while driving once now, so I'm guessing it's just a constant thing. I'm going to order some resistors and see if that fixes the problem

Btw, any reason you did not buy these for the front turn signals (30 LED's):http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-7507-PY21W-30-SMD-LED-Amber-Indicator-Bulbs-/ ?

I ordered these after the other ones because I think they might be more bright =) If you didn't see them blink after that long, then I doubt yours are actually blinking like mine do. I'll see if I have time to make a short clip later on so I can show how the blinking is That's correct, that's the main reason I went with them in the first place. However, these are the ones that blink from time to time lol. I also noticed my new (red ones) did the same. I'm thinking about looking in the code to see what I can do about this (maybe lower the voltage that goes to the LED's, since resistors kind of do the same) and if that doesn't work I'll try to see if resistors will help to get rid of the occasional blinks

svache: how are the new front turn signals? Big improvement over the previous ones in terms of brightness?
Btw, you spoke some Dutch in a previous post. Google translate or do you perhaps visit the Netherlands once in a while (could use someone for coding my 328 )?

lol.. nah, I don't need Google Translate, ik ben Nederlander haha.. Ik woon sinds 2008 in Hawaii omdat mijn vrouw hier vandaan komt. Zoals je weet is het in Nederland niet gemakkelijk qua immigratiebeleid dus besloten we hier te gaan wonen (plus 't was wat fijner ivm het mooie weer hier in Hawaii hehe). And yeah, I still frequently visit the Netherlands but, unfortunately, due to circumstances the first planned trip is not until around Queensday 2013 (I'm still hoping for xmas/nye but I don't think my wife's boss will let her go around those days) .. if you're still in need of coding by then, just let me know and I'll bring my cable and everything so we can hook up =) (btw, for the English speaking among us who really want to know what I said there in Dutch (since it's a forum in the English language): in short I told him I moved to HI since 2008 since my wife is from here )

are these visible in direct sunlight? If you don't mind modifying the bulbs, you could get 1156 bulbs and file one pin down like I did since 1156 bulbs have more variety.
I have these in white and they are brighter than the stock bulbs in direct sunlight. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-7-5W-LED-...s_Gear&vxp=mtr You could check out the review I made on those bulbs.

btw, in regards to the occasional blinking, I just went through the settings in the code and I noticed the voltage settings for the (standard) LED's are different from the (standard) bulbs... I haven't been able to test it yet but I have hope that this might solve the occasional blinking =)
