2010 E60 LED upgrades
After trying to order some LEDs from Bimmian, it was stated by staff member Ed that they do not sell any LEDs for the 2010 E60 5 Series due to too many returns/complaints even after coding.
Anyone with a 2010 E60 5-Series successfully installed LEDs error-free on their vehicle ? More specifically was looking to replace the front turn signal indicators and the reverse light.
Thanks !

I ordered the stealth chrome bulbs from Ed at Bimmian, for my sidemarker turn signals and for the headlights. All bulbs work great and they are chrome so no amber looking bulbs, but when activated they are amber color. Attached is the headlight before and after pics.

Now did you run across any errors after installation ? Did you require any coding ?

Although I have a 2008... I went on ebay and found a seller that I think might be on this board as well. He specifically said he is an engineer and tested many lights for both error free and BMW. I ordered a 17 pc kit from him, and paid him extra to grab me two license plate bulbs. Every single one fit great and had no errors, and no flickering on startup as far as I can tell (can't see the outside license plate but the insides don't do a thing) I don't have the ebay ad handy, but it's in the description. Wasn't too expensive at all, in fact, still a fraction of the price from some vendors.

-1. Avoid eBay at all costs for light bulbs. You are more than guaranteed to get bum bulbs. These things are cheap for quality ones, so why skimp $10 for an eBay special. Other ebay parts are good to try, like a bumper, but saving $5 on a $15 light bulb is just not worth it.

I install Putco led on my front turn signal and reverse light i had error until i code it off, interior i went with Ziza kit no coding for this.
Fog i have XenonDepot kit and no coding need it.
Headlight H8 Luz160 no coding, if i turn my AE off in the idrive they do flicker.
Too much money on lights will have to do Orion soon.

Will need coding unless u get Canbus and tap into your wires, i can do coding if you have the coding cable, programs i can shared.
