Hi svache, I should be receiving my 335i (U.S. Spec) here in Germany sometime next week ...finally! So after learning that the U.S. models have Red turn signal vs Amber on European models in the tail lights, I see you changed the ones on your car with red LEDs. Is the OEM bulb actually red or is the actual rear light housing that gives the red color for the turn signal in the top corner? I actually like how the amber turn signal looks on European models, but haven't been close enough to one to compare how much the tail lights differ to the ones on U.S. models. Can I change that by just changing the bulb to an amber color one or does it requires the whole light panel to be replaced with one for european models? I'm looking into replacing the turn signal bulbs with LEDs, but wanted to verify before I order any. Thanks!

I had already the 24smd it works good in front signals ..then I bought 3 pairs of 68 smd 2 red and 1 amber and I live in Egypt so it's kinda risky weather they work or make error but i'm still waiting for shipment so if anyone tried the 68 I'd appreciate to hear feedback...

Poster above me....it's because they aren't the same. One is a filament the other is a light emitting diode (LED) which has instant on/off characteristics...thus giving you the "not synchronized" conjecture.
To the OP for doing this. In my MKV I had to solder in a resister to fool cold diagnostic check into thinking there was enough resistence so it wouldn't through a bulb out light....good stuff |
