Hey,
I am looking to get LED replacements for my front indicators (amber), side indicators (amber) rear brake lamps (red), rear fog lamps (red) and rear license plate lamps (white).
I have several questions-
1) Thinking of getting these (link below) smoked side led indicators. Anyone have pictures of these fitted, any known problems with quality?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E46-E90-...ht_4100wt_1247
2) Front indicators- are they the right type (link below)? I know I'll get errors but I'm having someone code the error check out so it should be ok.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-3157-3057...ht_3371wt_1014
3) I figured I may just as well get a whole replacement for the license plate lamps (link below). Are they actually worth 2x as much as normal festoon replacement bulbs?

4) Anyone know what type of bulb is used for the rear brake lamps and rear fog lamps? I have an LCI E60.
Thank you!

Not too sure about errors etc if I just replaced the bulb, so I bought the 24 led replacement unit. Are you getting any errors, flickering or flashing upon startup?
Just one more question then...

Thanks! No strobing, flashing, blinking etc randomly right? As stable as the regular halogen license plate lights?
Oh. In that case I'm going to cancel my order for the 24led lights and get the MTECs. Thanks.

Just started installing LED lights on my E61 and started with the numberplate light, (number plate lights are the same as E60) I bought these:

2 minutes to install and a lovely bright light rather than the dull halogens... No errors, flickering, flashing etc!
