I first put these in the rear turn signals, and tested them without coding, which caused all of the bulbs, including the LEDs on the mirrors, to blink at 3 times or so the normal rate.

I thought it odd that it affected the front and side bulbs as well, being controlled by a different module. I coded the front and rear turn signals for LED at that point, then installed the front bulbs, so I can't say if they would have worked without coding or not.

FYI to anyone attempting this, I got bulb part numbers that were advertised online as working with our cars locally at pep boys. Only $8 for the pair.

BMW's connecting pegs ended up being offset (about the 12 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions IIRC), while the replacement bulbs were at a more standardized 12 and 6'oclock positions. I decided I don't care that much about the egg yolk look and kept the BMW bulbs installed.

I tried the gp thunder silver bulbs and they were good but slightly dim so I'm trying to grab the oem ones!!

I didn't want to really bother with the coding but if you have a certain bulb you're using that's worth going through the coding let me know


I picked up the oem stealth bulbs yesterday from gotbmwparts. 16$ for two plus shipping.

^They are chrome bulbs instead of the regular orange ones. But, they still light up and blink orange.

You eliminate some orange color from the headlight..

i picked up: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Error-Free-...s-p/20-343.htm

and the coding was simple. They are much brighter and are instant on off when blinking. They basically disappear in the headlights when off.

I also coded to have them off when the headlights are on too.

Here is a picture of the amber LED turn signals that I got. One with a flash and one with out. It got rid of pretty much all of the ugly orange. And the nice clean on off of the LED. Mine required no coding; it was a straight swap. No errors, and no hyperflashing.

I see yours is a 335i? I have a 2016 LCI so I actually needed a different base than yours. The seller shipped me the 7507 base for the pre lci lights, but I needed a different (3157) base. So he sent me a correct pair for my lci lights.

The 3rd pic is of the original LED set he sent me that fit the pre lci headlights. He said to keep them since shipping back to China would cost half what the lights cost.

If you want, I can sell you the brand new set for cheap as I have no use for them. Its the light set/seller below that I bought from.

Get the LED. They're brighter, they react faster, they last longer. Using Bimmercode coding is a breeze, and you should have Bimmercode anyway for all the other things you can code with it, starting with getting rid of the annoying disclaimer crap every time you start the car.
