It's not a blue hue led if it's in fact an led. The license plate LEDs are not blue hue either. Just a clear 4K white.

Do you still have the codes handy? I assume you need to go into expert mode in BimmerCode..?

they are not LED. There are bulbs already in the lights, but they're regular incandescent bulbs.

I don't remember which i bought, but there's a thread on this topic. I bought the ones listed there.

Just installed mine at Schmeidmann Sweden, couldn't be more happier with the result.

I love my blacklines! Took them off my 340 when I bought the M3.

Please help me with the link for LED bulbs and how to code them to blink properly, mines blinks so fast and you can barley see them in day light.

Thanks
