I think I need to change xenon bulbs to match the color temp.
So after coding, no flickering when off?

So found these WeissLicht LED Fog Light Bulbs , website claims they are a perfect match for xeons. Seem legit, and come with a pair of code resistors to try if needed, depending on your model.

Do these aftermarket fog light bulbs work with the cornering function?

If you already have the cornering function then the lights will work the same way as before but with the new bulbs.

What are the preferred bulbs to match Xenons?

Check out the 4th Generation Headlight kits from HorizonLED or similar places (ebay...) they all almost have the same design. Anyways, with that specific generation of light they come with color films to put on the LED to match whatever color temperature you're aiming for. Never tried putting them on though.

This was one of the first mods I did to my car two years ago when I picked up my CPO 2012 F30 (along with changing out the turn signals to silver bulbs). Simple plug and play, no coding required, takes all of 10 minutes to do, and it's a pretty close match as any.

I just followed this DIY post.


I used the same MTEC MT-471 Bulbs (Color 4,750K) (H8 35w) as the OP in the post linked above.
