I use a light mist of aluminum colored/silver paint on the regular amber bulbs. Several light coats until you can't see the amber. Cheap & it works!

Any brand rec, or are you referring to an OEM led? Got any obd rec ? I have no reference of comparison because this would be my first....but would still rather have the best obd as opposed to a beginner type...

These are what I have in my F34, but for whatever reason not all models use the same bulb, so you have to be sure of the base before ordering.

OBD is something else entirely. If you're asking which adapter to use with Bimmercode I have this:

That’s old school but still very valid. Especially now that the BMW chrome bulbs are discontinued

Additionally I recommend bbq (high heat) paint especially if you haven’t coded them to be off except when flashing. Ie turns only no amber indicator.

They're still available, they just aren't sold as a pair anymore.

Because they're now sold as single bulbs the PN changed.

Getbmwparts has them as single bulbs.

How do I get rid of the disclaimer for my 2013 F30? I have the app.
