I put these in mine, not for extra output but for whiter color:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I coded them, they work well. I don't know if Carly has the ability to code the reverse lights, but it should be listed on the Carly site. |

Are you able to post a video or picture of what the tone is with these?

My bulbs:
Comparison pic: In reverse the door handles light up also (coded): Bulbs are not canbus, deliberately avoided as canbus bulbs usually die early. Because of heat/resisitors. I was about to code but I get absolutely no flickering, no errors, nothing. Either the F30 doesn't care about reverse bulbs or I got lucky with the bulbs. Carly confirms the options to code are available and systems are active. My fog lights I was not so lucky. |

But guys, why spend so much on the reverse LEDs when LCI taillights are typically in the $500 range used? Harness is what about $50?
So two LEDs cost $200, which is ,what, like 40% of what the LCI conversion costs and IMO the conversion looks more than 60% better than pre-lci lights. I'm just genuinely curious, because I really want to upgrade to LCI but haven't gotten lucky finding a set.... I'm even considering going to a junkyard to see if I can find a totaled car

Lol weird... I clicked on the bimmian link that ooshnoo linked.
Nevermind then good to know because I thought it was ridiculous to have bulbs cost that much. Anyone know why they cost so much from bimmian....? Like are they seriously that much better?

The LEDs I got for my headlights and fogs cost roughly $50 a pair, they're identical to Weisslichts that cost $129 a pair. The linked Bimmian reverse lamps are $99 a pair, not each, but that's still off the wall.

Great look! I didn’t have to code mine for the door handles, some cars come with this feature stock. I found a pair of bulbs for $20 CAD, putting them on in the next week! |

I just feel like anything more than $50 for a pair of LEDs is ridiculous.. an LED is an LED
