Amazon LED Headlights

Good day all! New to Bimmer-life and this is my first post. I recently purchased a 2015 320i and have been looking at upgrading the lights (since one looks newer and the other one looks 10 years old). I already purchased a set off Amazon and returned them. After the fact, I wondered if maybe the reason why these headlights didn't work correctly, was because I needed some sort of coding completed. I began to notice that most of the issues (the passenger turn signal staying solid yellow instead of the animation) happened when it was dark at night and the auto headlight were on. I've since returned these to Amazon and ordered some different ones. Was curious if there was some coding thing I missed.

Ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK6ZG85S...fed_asin_title

Returned these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW6B18XM...sin_title&th=1

Unless you replace the lamp with exactly the same lamp there's no such thing as plug and play. Some coding will be required.

Thanks for the confirmation. That’s what I assumed at this point. What that said, is BimmerCode a good tool to resolve this? If so, what should I look to activate?

Bimmercode has one click coding to LED for every lamp.

I bought LED bulbs for indoor lighting on AliExpress, about 40% cheaper than on Amazon.

Thanks! I'll let everyone know how it goes once the new ones come in.

Here are the new headlights I purchased from Amazon. They look pretty good and I also replaced the chrome kidney grills with black ones.
