looks great man.I been eyeing those red led bulbs at the local autoparts store but not sure if there the same ones.
In my experience they have decent prices and very good customer service.

sorry to sound like an ar*e, but i rearly dont like those lights...they make the car look like a "lexus copy" or ricer...
each to there own.
i think mods are great to a class car, but they should be BMW mods (its too new a car to add aftermarket "visable" items)
but your good to go.

I'm somewhat in agreement with those who have posted about the Japanese marques and some other low-end cars [not all are 'rice-burners'] and that they've been LED'ed for 2-3 years. BMW is just getting caught up. I do hope they don't take the Audi approach with the front end LED's - now that (IMHO) looks ugly. As for staying strictly to BMW parts for mods, that would leave out dozens of wheel and body trim alternatives that are very popular. Though I don't necessarily like all of them, many are quite attractive and in keeping with the BMW "spirit".

Ebay Seller Revotec ... Free Shipping + I had a 10% Paypal coupon + 1% MrRebates ... the 39LED Red Bulbs were from premierteknet112222. Next I'm going to replace the amber turn signals with LEDs but I don't know if the built in resister pack with allow them to work correctly. If it doesn't I'll have to add an external resister.
The Back up lamps are also almost 100% brighter on these ... P21's!

Good deal - then that was you I saw on the Freeway ... I thought it was Rudolph the Backwards Reindeer (you know the one with the bright red tail instead of nose
)
