Default e60 | pre-LCI, what is the brightest amber turn signals (front)

So I have been looking around for a while and cant find a nice LED turn signal that is really bright. By bright I mean as bright as the new built-in turn signals for the front, (ie, 3 series, 5 series).

Does anyone know which LED (plugin) will be the brightest?

Thanks.

Assuming you mean models that have LED turn signals such as the E90 lci xenon, F10 xenons, etc., there's no way you can get it as bright as those because of the turn signal diffuser on the pre-LCI E60.

Having said that, the technology is constantly being updated for these LEDs. I can source for you the " currently" brightest if you'd like.

That would be great. Also do you know the cost of them?

So bimmian and jelvins have this new CREE led bulb with built in resistance from wesslicht. Has anyone used them yet? Any input on the brightness?

There are other ones that have the same design but they claim that these are brighter?

Any feedback would be awesome! ��

Those look very nice and I'd be interested in the amber turn signal ones as well. 80$ though. Too bad they don't have any red ones for the brake lights.

yeah, the price is the one that is bugging me. Im sure you can use the white one for the rear brakes as the lens is red anyways.

Has anyone tried these ones?

I read on here that if you do that, it will make your brake lights look too pink though.
