Nice. Let me know if you need any help installing. It should be pretty straightforward.

They come in a pair . My apologies for not taking pictures of them when I got them. I should have done that before the install so you guys could have seen what they look like, but it completely slipped my mind. I hope one of you takes pictures of them and posts it here for others to see. I'd appreciate it!

WTSAAAPA2 WeissLicht LED Turn Signal Bulbs For Any Vehicle Error Free Refer to Description Tab for Proper Vehicle Fitment Pair of PY24W Style Spektrum Bulbs Amber Illumination I was confused about this because I thought it was pretty specific for our F15. It seems like the turn signal light they use is the same one for the Gran Coupe 6-Series: http://www.bimmian.com/WTS/06/?cur=USD#tab-order. After you click the yellow PRICING button, scroll down to the second to last one under the section labeled "For Any Vehicle - Error Free - Refer to Description Tab for Proper Vehicle Fitment." You'll see the WTSAAAPA2 there. Strange, but hey it works . I have no complaints. Maybe one of you can call customer service and just ask to have some sort of piece of mind from their explanation as to why it's labeled like this and why it's differently labeled on the website for the F15. The price is cheaper for us F15 users at $99 instead of the full $109 for the 6 coupe, so I guess in a way we get lucky for this marketing gimmick?

I have the Lighting Package but this is a very nice alternative to the turn signal if you didn't get the LED Lighting package.
Nice find. |

They cause flickering when first started up but this can be coded off in BDC_Body by coding these 6 values (3 for each light): FRA_V_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: aktiv to nicht_aktiv FRA_V_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: aktiv to nicht_aktiv FRA_V_L_IS_LED: nicht_aktiv to aktiv FRA_V_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: aktiv to nicht_aktiv FRA_V_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: aktiv to nicht_aktiv FRA_V_R_IS_LED: nicht_aktiv to aktiv Sorry you got the flickering . I would call bimmian for help/refund. Maybe you got a bad set? Did you get an error message in your cluster?

You are amazing you respond so fast with a solution. Very rare in time when so many people just complain.
Anyway they flicker on start up and where do I check to see if they show an error? I haven't coded anything I think that would be beyond my pay grade Thank you for your time. |

Forgot this, but for the flickering error, from all the cars that I have tested including our 2014 ML350, whenever the turn signals, fog lights, or headlights flicker from any aftermarket part, this is usually due to a computer error where the car is sensing a temperature malfunction because the new lights (LED or HID) are drawing less power and that makes the computer think that there is a malfunction in terms of factory settings (sorry for the very long runon sentence, lol). The error should pop up in the CENTER area of your instrument cluster with some light - then if there's no detailed message there, go into your vehicle info in the iDrive menu and see if there are any errors there. Also, they talk in detail about why the flickering occurs and how to solve it with the solution I mentioned; that's why I posted those settings in the first place just in case it happened for us - I always research before I buy : http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=928778 In all honesty coding doesn't cost much at all. Total cost truly is just from the ENET cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBD2-ENET-Et...3D201056990534. That's the one I bought. And many members have asked about the whole learning of coding and I've assisted them on where to start. If you want to learn, let me know. I'll PM you the information. I learned recently myself after getting help from fellow coders. If you at least download the software that comes with the ENET cable (the seller emails a download link), I can help you remotely via Team Viewer. Coding the lights I wouldn't even charge anything. However, if you really don't have the time/means for this process, just call up bimmian. They were pretty courteous to me when I had questions about my tracking and when I first ordered. I'm almost positive there's a refund policy within the first 2-4 weeks depending. I know for a fact that there's no way you could have damaged the lights, so you should be able to send them back. Let me know what you decide to do, and I'll try to assist you further.

Sure thing. I'll guide you, no problem. The only thing right now for remote coding help is that I don't have too much time these days, so we'll have to figure out a good time time for the simple stuff. I'll PM you all the coding information from the main coding thread, coders by location, and step-by-step guide to getting everything setup, and also my little summary of what you need to do within E-SYS if you decide to get the cable and are ready for all that information.

@radrads203, you should not get flickering because I did not. However, if by some unfortunate result you do get flickering, the coding is there to solve it or get a refund from Bimmian. Everyone, try taking the bulb out and readjusting and twisting it back onto the socket. I know for the parking bulbs on certain cars if you don't have it sitting in the socket correctly, it won't turn on. Then press your emergency parking lights button and see how the lights work. This is how I tested my lights first. I noticed zero flickering and I have monitored the lights from behind vehicles in day time and night time driving. Zero flickering for me. Also just for the heck of it, try switching the bulbs with each other and see what happens. I ordered 5 kinds of parking lights for our ML350 before getting the perfect no error. Always exhaust all testing before giving up .
