no error codes.....in U.S dollers it would be roughly Four dollers, very cheap. The only downside is they dont show much during the day if the sun is out but at night they look nice.

Good find. Not sure only one LED will be bright enough. The 4 LED ones on that site may just about do though? I have some with 4 LEDs they are quite bright but gave me the bulb fault.
I have found some really bright LED's they are 2 watts. Not sure if that will be enough to avoid the bulb fault?

I bought these from ebay, they are 2x LED with built in SMD resistors, works a treat. they are brighter than the 8w 501s which i had previously and there is no error codes in the Idrive.
this is the site on ebay (BMW E39 E46 E60 501 LED SIDELIGHTS - NO WARNING ERRORS).
