Has anyone bought the VLAND one's for the F82 off Amazon? How is the quality and how is it holding up over time? I wonder if they're the same as if you got them from VLAND directly...

Yes, that is how it is supposed to work. Startup sequence only works when the light switch is in Auto.

Same here. When the lights are off it only blinks once. With auto lights the sequence is on

I know several pages ago others were looking for a way to disable the startup sequence. Looks like we got it figured out

I wish people would stop calling these OLEDs. They are not OLEDs.

They're LED cheap knock offs.

Not GTS OLEDs, it's GTS "style" LEDs.

Can't even find a proper video on YouTube of the real thing cause of this mislabeling nonsense.

"Installing GTS OLEDS on my F8x!"
*Clicks on link*
and they're Installing cheap $300 tail lights from Alibaba. Damn.

You should just be looking up OEM GTS OLEDS on an M4 specifically.

GTS or CS OLED tail lights do not exist for F80’s that’s why you can’t find anything. These replica lights are the only thing available for the M3

They said the first batch so I am assuming he meant first batch V2. The brake lights are very bright but the turn signals can be hard to see in direct sunlight. If the brightness of the turn signals were improved then I will be looking to get a newer set as well.
