Amazon reviews are few, but all 5 stars.

Other than that, I think it looks better from the front at night. Look a bit higher end than my old halogen bulbs. : )

Thank you for the quick review. When it's time to change my bulbs, I'd like to install LED's.

No blinking issue during night time so far.

This is just for low beams. I believe for back light, etc, you will need to do code.

Yes, I read the other posts, and I plan on purchasing a coding solution soon.

The entire point of the cold/warm checks is so the car can warn you that you've got a bulb out when it most matters, during the day, so you can go buy a bulb and replace it before dark.

Yes, I got warning for my daylight running bulbs about a year back and the warning was gone after I changed bulbs.

I also found out this morning that if I turn off daylight running light in settings, and turn the light switch to off, there is no check for my low beams during day time. I stood in front of my car for about 5 minutes with engine running and there was no blinks.

I think I am going to code.

It works fine without flickers when it is totally dark, or when it is sunny with light off.

The issue is during the transition time of dark to sunny. I don't want to worry about flicker during those dark to sunny transition time.

So, is this still the best one to use?

I think based on reviews, the Bluetooth version still works and wifi version not working anymore?
Use it with Bimmercode app, correct?

Thanks!

I changed my Halogen bulbs to LED as well as my fog lights.
When I first start the car I get a flicker/strobe light effect that I actually don't mind.
I'm sure it can be coded to allow the car to not send the signal but I like the flicker.
It doesn't bother me.

I'm looking to upgrade the DRL bulb and turn signals next.

The issue I am worry about is not the initial startup blinks. It is the blinks during day time driving.

During daytime driving when only DRL are on and low beams are off, every minute or so, the low beams would blink due to warm check. The driver in front of you might get confused about getting blinked by you.

All you need to check is this: keep the car running with just DLR on, stand in front of your car and observe the low beams for a few minutes.

Oh, I totally get ur point.
I coded off my DRL's. I didn't like the look of the halogen bulb with the LEDs. So I just coded the DRLs off. I'll turn them back on when I get the led bulbs for DRL.

I decided to do coding anyway. Bought Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) from Amazon and bought Bimmercode app. Able to turn off cold and warm check for the low beams. I turned back on my DRL for daytime driving.
