BMW E39 LED Markers

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I've just bought this off trademe ( http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-535371213.htm )

I'm wondering has anyone done an install on this before and could give a guide on how to go about it?

This is my first BMW and have only had it for 2 weeks now - loving it!

Any advice on how to install these would be greatly appreciated!

seriously easy. plug & play.

Unplug your old angle eye plug, a simple twist. (it's the one in the middle).

check pins are in good nick (ie not bent like my ones).

plug in new plug. enjoy.

:)

They look good at night but even the brightest (12W) cree bulbs are nowhere near as bright as the DTR angel eyes on new models.

That's all good - only have them on at night and don't want to completely blind people...

They do look pretty good whiter. The yellow looking bulbs look a bit dirty.

Be aware, that they will quite possibly strobe - when you turn on the ignition, each side will blink very fast, and then when you are driving along the flash every so often (when turned off).

I changed my LCM and turned off the cold checks to stop it, as people thought I was flashing my lights at them. I was worried someone would think I was telling them to go, when it might not be safe.

Just something that you may not be aware of, as they mostly say they are error free, but a lot of them still strobe.

Ah wow what a pain! Thanks for the heads up :-)

I bought mine from trade me (not from that seller) but I have had no issues.

No strobing on startup or otherwise.

No WOF issues

No error codes

so there are good ones out there that work well.

Here they are fitted!

Interested in a set myself. No error codes or strobing so far?

It pays to have someone else turn on the car to check for strobing - I didn't realise mine were doing it for probably a couple of weeks. There had been a few confused looking people waving at me though :unsure:

The LED should have been fitted from new, really.
