Now that is nice. Good job. The best part is that LEDs last so long.

Do you know how to replace the side marker bulbs? I have two canbus comaptible wedge bulbs I want to install. I tried moving the lens forward (towards the front bumper) but it doesn't budge. Some posts said to pop it out from the rear using a credit card but that sounds sketchy. Last edited by Adam135; 12-23-2012 at 07:53 PM.. |

That's okay ... I learnt the hard way too. Did you get your Blackline LCI tail lights in the US or from Germany?

Thanks. Dack put me onto eBay.de. I'll compare ... but as I have a year's warranty to play out, I am in no hurry.

BTW see my post above about side markers - any idea how to get those bulbs out? In this post it looks like you push them towards the door/rear bumper: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=524027. Tried that too without any luck. In some old posts a couple people suggested using a credit card on the side closest to the door to pop it out. Last edited by Adam135; 12-23-2012 at 08:22 PM.. |

Maybe not quite as bright as stock. But hey, I now have two updated rear tail lights courtesy of BMW. All fixed.

I hope you didn't buy from that eBay seller - looks like half his feedback is negative and they are no longer a registered user. |

I bought these ones (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Upgrade-Ca...E:L:OC:AU:1120) as recommended earlier in this thread. They look pretty good when I tested them out with the hazard flashers. Once I started up the car though, I got the bulb malfunction warning and the fast flashing. The seller recommended installing the bulbs with the battery disconnected first, then resetting the trip computer. I don't see how this would make any difference? Anybody have any suggestions to get them to work?

If you guys fix it, please report back how you did it. I haven't bought these, knowing that there would be error codes. I'd *love* brighter tail lights though (seeing as mine are smoked, I'd like to counter that somewhat).

Hi guys
just received and installed the blinker leds from the following link no error, nothing special happened, it just works without any issues or warnings, install took about 12 mins both side http://www.ebay.com/itm/280778657694...84.m1439.l2649 here is a short video i took, right side - led left side - stock by the way, i wanted to buy same pair for my back turn signal, when i took it out the original says VPY21W and the front says PY21W is it safe to assume i can get the same pair for the back?

Absolutely no idea on the part numbers. If you found a list of bulbs needed in our cars, or went and pulled a rear bulb to compare to the front, might be able to tell if there's a difference. Color, wattage, who knows.
But thank you for the follow up! Glad that at least some of them out there do work correctly. |
