At $100 those aren't appropriate for my wallet lol. I got mine for $30 from Amazon. Work like a charm.

Go with the deAutoLED:
http://deautokey.com/product/bmw-f2x...e-turn-signals

Will try to transfer my m235i LEDs to my m240i soon to see how it works but right now I have been running the deAutoLED.com LEDs for years and love them, much much brighter vs many competitors I seen!

The last part of the video shows the headlights on with the side amber (turns) also illuminated. The flicker / flashing you see is due to the video only, it doesn't look like that IRL!



Don't criticize my video editing skillz please!

I just posted a video showing my LED retrofit on my M235i; this includes amber front turns from Bimmian with the rear being all DeAutoKey (turns [amber], brake/tail [red], reverse [white]). ryansauce, this is for you too. (Apologies in advance, the video is a bit crappy...)

Is this an advertisement? Almost all of your posts are about deautokey. No offense, but deautokey lights are bought cheap in Asia and repackaged, they are way overpriced. They are not any brighter than LEDs that can be purchased for $25. per pair.

Nope, I found deAutoLED on this forum and asked for them as my x-mas present:
http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1024715

I really didn't do many mods to my m235i besides LEDs so I want to share what I found as I spent more money buying crappy LEDs before finding and being happy with deAutoLEDs.
I bought Buychina, alibaba, ebay, bimmiam(most expensive) and amazon, and some were not even worth installing as they were not brighter than stock and some caused errors.

I also have been on here since October 2014 lurking but only posted after I felt I had something to contribute. I will be doing more mods to my M240i so I will be posting more often, and if I have a good experience with the company and product I will be sharing it any chance I get if it helps others. I will be testing these LEDs in my m240i soon as they seem to require the same bulbs so I might be making a thread about what I find also.

But it seems like that I'm not the only one trying and failing with other LED brands:
