Who Sells No Error LED Lamp for Trunk?

Not big on the whole interior LED upgrade but I think the one area that could use some brightening is the trunk. I'm looking specifically for a 24-LED lamp replacement (i.e. not just a single LED bulb).

From what I could find, BMS and ModularBargains sell them but is there anyone else? I had terrible experience with ModularBargains and BMS gets mixed reviews here. Aside from those 2, only other ones I could find were generic ones from eBay or Amazon.

If I'm not mistaken the trunk bulb isn't canbus so you can replace it with any model LED.

I have ECS's Ziza LED Lights.

IIRC, I got the whole kit (including trunk) for like $29...

I'll take some shots of the trunk. I like them. No errors

I saw ECS's ZIZA bulbs but I'm looking for the entire lamp assembly as that would be brighter. The trunk looks kinda dim with just bulb replacement:

I'll have to take a picture of mine, that picture looks underexposed because my light fills more left and right

Sorry about that, I relinked the photo. I went with this one, it was the only one that had 24 LED's and not sold by a crappy but well known vendor on the forums. Fitment was generally good, I just had to play with the pins a little to get them to match up to the wiring. Took 2 mins fiddling but that was about it.

I installed this one yesterday: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_LED_trunk_lights.html

Took about 2 minutes, works great, HUGE difference in light. No errors.

Recommend.

I installed this (http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_LED_trunk_lights.html) in my 128i and it works great. 3-4 times a bright & easy install. Received in just a few days.

Burger tuning LED is no longer available - does anybody have a recommendation here, or is the Ziza ECS bulb good enough?

I've got 12V at the black plug into the assembly, but replaced the bulb with this Sylvania one and and no luck. Looks like there is some melted plastic from previous overheating, so going to try another bulb and then replace the assembly if that doesn't work.
