Just received my 50W amber cree LED's from Horizon (UK vendor) today. Took a little bit for them to arrive and a bit more expensive than some of the other options I'm seeing on the threads, but definitely worth the wait and money. They're much brighter than the incandescent bulbs, and the instant ON/OFF function of the bulbs is a huge improvement. They look great! I'll definitely be ordering some red ones for the rear turn signals, and then maybe for the brake lights and reverse lights later on.
Install was actually easier than I had expected, just popped off the little cut-out in front of the wheels and had direct access to the indicator bulbs. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I had already removed some screws on the driver side and tried to peel back the fender lining to get to the indicators. After knowing that, the passenger side literally took like 30 seconds to switch out!

Here are my led turn signals. Search out motoring max on eBay. $50-60 a pair. I went with amber front and rear. No problems at all.

Using E-Sys, the codes that need to be changed for the front two turn signals in are: (For left bulb) FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG aktiv --> nicht_aktiv FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG aktiv --> nicht_aktiv FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_L_IS_LED nicht_aktiv --> aktiv (For right bulb) FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG aktiv --> nicht_aktiv FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG aktiv --> nicht_aktiv FEM_BODY 3061 FRA_V_R_IS_LED nicht_aktiv --> aktiv |

Also, I forgot to add the coding for the rear bulbs which are almost identical to the fronts; only difference is that the ECU is REM instead of FEM. Everything is the same except the beginning phrase which is FRA_H_L instead of FRA_V_L |

There most likely is flickering and you're just not noticing it yet. The easiest solution would be to find a local member in your area and to pay them to do it. I don't have a laptop, but the cost of that, plus an enet cable, sourcing a token for esys, etc is just too much for me. I'd rather pay someone with experience to do it for me.

You can PM shawnsheridan, he's the one who hooked me up with the coding software. Or you can just browse around on the Coding and DIY section of the forum for other sources. As for the ENET cable, you can either make one or buy one off Amazon for around $40. All of the installation instructions and steps for activating E-Sys as well as connecting to your car are well explained in the included documentation. After that, all you need to do is apply the changes I mentioned above and you should be good to go

If you're looking for a pair of LED bulbs for the front turn signals I highly suggest going with the plasma LEDs you get that from underground euros. There's a picture of them on my car on that website because we were testing them out when my car first came out and there are no error codes or anything in there an exact match to the halos but my halos were coded to 100% instead of the original I think 50% but when they're on there is an exact match and they are perfect I've had them in my car since the day I got my car or the week I got my car December of 2013 and to this day they are perfect and I wouldn't change them for anything else they are white plasma LED from his website underground euros or if you just do a search for underground euros or something

Bringing the thread back from the dead...
I recently installed these in my car and have had zero issues. No coding, no fast blinking or anything. They are crazy bright at night and comparable during the day. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Leave the car idling outside and sit and watch? Does it only do it while the bulbs are on? I literally haven't noticed them blink, give errors or do anything weird. They work just like the halogens...? I also had the car out in the daylight with the hazards on an watched the LEDs vs the OE bulb... the difference was almost not noticeable. What am I missing?
