I just realized that all four bulbs light up when braking, need to add two more on my order, is this a euro thing or do all lci cars do this?

Just installed the front LED Indicators and they work great ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
Here's a video showing the difference between bulb and LED (LED on left, bulb on right):

It looks great,
Im still waitning for my bulbs to show up, im guessing that they will all arrive next week or so.
I bought rear brake lights, led side markers and front turnsignals.

Great success, the brakelights are as bright as the stock bulbs but they light up instantly.
The licenseplate lights are about as bright as the LED bulbs from John but they are a bit warmer in color, so great success there as well![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
pictures and videos are downloading from the camera as we speak

Here is a shot showing the brightness between the stock bulb at the right and the new LED at the left,
The image is bad in every way but it does show the brightness at least.
Better pics will be taken once its not below zero outside![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
