Little Mod - LED Fog Lights & LED Turning lights
Because I could not understand why every light on the car is LED just front turn signals are regular bulbs I decided to tackle this issue.
Replacing actually took 3 minutes, easily accessible (unfortunately, I didn't take a photo or video but you will see the end result. Also, I wanted to change yellow halogen fog lights so they will match Xenon and daytime LEDs. For both, the biggest problem was finding a good product that will not cause the error and it will be bright enough. This was before with halogen bulb: This is how it looks now after a change, its much better live, color is a good match. I recorded a short video so you can see the LEDs and turning signals |

That does look so much better. Thank you for the post. Would you mind please letting us know what products you purchased? I'd like to get the same to match the color and not have error codes. - Thanks again

I've not seen that before - on my car and every other F15 I've seen the top horizontal daytime running lights are also the turn signals, there is no seperate bulb on the side like yours. I do have the full LED headlight package, is this because yours are xenons? Just curious

My car is a German model, and its Xenon, thats why. I simply dont understand if everything on the car is LED why leave front blinkers standard bulbs.
Also trunk lights and glovebox was also regular light bulb, but I change them as well. Here are the bulbs (p.s. I am not associated with any of this guys) I choose this ones because they don't have the heat sink and they are good brand. They are not the brightest but I need them for looks. I live in Malta where is never below 10C and no fog, no snow, etc For turning bulbs, I got them on eBay (UK) Just need to mention I got an error on the dashboard for fog lights, but it can easily be fixed with bimercode app Go to Body Control - find fog lghts, set them on LED instead of Halogen, set hot and cold monitor to inactive and that's it. You can do also for turning bulbs, but this ones don't flicker. Last edited by stoske133; 01-29-2020 at 03:58 PM.. |
