Hey I notic d in some of your pics that your fogs are on with just your daytime driving lights. My low beams turn on every time, how did you get it to so that, or did you increase brightness on your parking lights, so they look like daytime driving lights?

Just checked them with the car running. They do flicker as well when they are off, and car is running, not only on shutdown. So when they are off, they are flickering, while I am driving? Also, what does ABBIEGEL mean in your following code, its to adjust the foglights? 3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : Adjusting voltage output for Front Right LED Fog light. 3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : Adjusting voltage output for Front Right LED Fog light. Thought only NSW or NEBELSCHW affects the fogs?

Yes so this is an easy upgrade? No flickering when off?

This is an easy upgrade with the wheels turned all the way and coded but might easier if you manage to take the wheels off and code it. But manageable with wheels on. Absolutely no flickering if coded and if used with original Equipment.

Yeah going to go this route if the load resistors don't work out!

You need REM for rear turn signals!

If I were to retro fit would I need a harness? I'm trying to check part diagrams and cant find it. If we have Msport with no fogs do you think the wiring is tucked in somewhere behind the bumper?

Just swapped and coded front/rear turn signal + brake to LED. I noticed that the turn signals will flash an additional time (twice) when unlocking the car compared to halogen bulbs even with cold check off, is this normal?

That I'm unsure of. You need a US spec M Sport owner to chime in.

Hmm, did you also do the IS_LED coding? I don't get any extra blinks when unlocking. Could be the bulb I guess. Which vendor did you get your lights from?

I have done the is_led coding. The front are Philips and rear are from horizon led. It's not a very big deal since they don't flicker and works fine.

Hey - thanks for all the great info in this post, very helpful. I just installed a set of fogs and love them. plug and play, no coding. no errors, but they have some afterglow, meaning after the car's off the fogs are very dimly lit, like 5%. goes off after a while, I'm guessing it's just energy stored up in the adaptor modules.
these are the lights I chose. was going to order from Horizon but it looks like they may have changed their product based on the site pics and I wasn't as confident in the H8 option. also these were much cheaper and US based so much less wait time for me. color and light output is excellent. packaging and product quality is also top notch. I was nervous of getting total junk and these blew me away. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291904501036...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That makes sense, as they'd require capacitors to provide a constant DC, otherwise they'd pulse. Which car did you put them in?

I honestly have no clue. Do they all flicker?

LED will flicker unless you do something to prevent it. That's because the power supplied to halogens isn't constant voltage DC, it's a pulsed wave. Halogens don't react quickly enough to the loss of drive voltage to see the pulses, LEDs do.
