I never ended up buying them from Bimman, they just cost too much and my lease is almost up so I just said to hell with it.

I have the Bimmian WeissLicht reverse LEDs and they are a huge improvement both aesthetically and functionally. I have an F30 but I'm pretty sure the F80 uses P21W bulbs too.

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded my front and rear indicator bulbs to LEDs and performed the necessary coding for turning off the cold and warm checks plus setting the bulb to LED.

However I’ve noticed that whenever the indicators are activated it causes by DAB reception to cut out, any ideas?

I haven’t narrowed it down to front or rear bulbs yet as only spotted this problem this morning but just wondered if anyone had experienced this?

No idea what would cause that. Very strange

Great way to get a ticket!
How is that a great way to get a ticket? What law says you can't put a red LED in red halogen socket!

anything that causes visibility issues with other drivers ask any law enforcement. Halogen is way brighter than OEM so that's your answer.

Ok well changing a bulb to LED doesn't cause a distraction. 1000's of people on here do this and I have never heard of anyone getting a ticket.
