Antoher angel eye question e60- 08 535i

So I ordered the R-Dash LED bulbs for $100 since the seller guaranteed me that they wouldn?t give me any errors. I installed them and got errors. When I returned them I had to pay 15% re-stocking fee plus shipping (total of $20). I then bought the ?GP Thunder Plasma-White H8, 8500K/35W Quartz Glass Bulbs? from Amazon for $12 plus shipping. Here are some pictures of before and after. I am definitely happy with the GP thunders. Super easy install and was able to do it in a couple minutes. So thank you guys for all your help. Hopefully this post will help the next newb.

My Ride: 2008 550i. Murdered. Carbon Black. Painted tail lights, M5 trunk spoiler. RS Technik 15mm spacers (rear). Black 172's.
Got the same ones also. Definitely good way to go if you're not into cutting open housings or zip tying resistors.

My Ride: 2008 535i LCI with sports/premium package, Sports trans with paddle shifters, CF emblems, JB4 Software, Dinan Exhaust, Navigation, M5Tech body kit, Carbon wrap interrior trim and CIC Controller.
I also have a 2008 535 LCI and have tried two sets and both caused the error. The first set caused it all the time and the second set only caused the error when running the DRL, with HID's on at night all was ok. I was told to just turn off the DRL...!!! Anyway, that defeats the purpose of even having the upgrade. Umnitza and John both say theirs will not cause the errors in any lighting mode. Umnitza is using resistors on both wires to solve the problem and they are LED. John uses HID and so they must be somewhat brighter. Both sets will cost you ~ 200 and some change so I am personally going to keep my GP Thunders in until the other price comes down a little...
