Has anyone tried these?

Wondering if anyone has tried these LED fog bulbs -

http://www.bimmian.ca/WeissLicht-LED...r-F80-3-Series

Or these LED parking lights -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/6000K-White-...da7cb9&vxp=mtr

Just wondering if both of these are true plug and play and error free?

I have the LED DRL's and love them, and just installed the phillips diamond vision Bulbs for the low beams. I'm going to do a quick write up tonight after it gets dark with some pics for everyone that doesn't have the lighting package.

Hi. No I havent tried them out.

Need to replace DRL into LED and later also the parking lights. The only mod I have done is, I replaced the orange turn signal lamp with the Philips Silver Vision blubs. Looks much better now.

Which LED DRL's did you buy?

Hmm they say they don't recommend these bulbs to illuminate the road. I only use my fogs when I need them. Oh well, BMW is offering their own full led foglight kit as an upgrade kit to replace the stock fogs anyway.

For some reason they look super dim in the pictures but they are much, much brighter in person.

Its LED, and it looks like it is available for order. I just don't want to be the guinea pig....

The parking lights are plug and play and haven't displayed any errors.

Great, thanks. Do they run while the headlights are on while your actually driving? It looks like my parking bulbs illuminate when my headlights come on but its hard to tell...

Yes they are illuminated when your headlights are on.

What I don't like is that it says that these do not light up the road as well as the OEM bulbs. Purely esthetic.

I don't think so....

I'm going to look for a HID fog light solution instead.

Looks good! Do they look more blueish or more white at night? I prefer more white than blueish.

Probably I will order a pair of LEDs.

They look almost pure white. Definitely not too much blue hue. I really like them.
