I did a test plug in and no error message. =) I did it before I soldered everything just to make sure it works. Will take pics when its in the car.

My Ride: 2006 530xi (Titanium Grey/ Black interior) Debaged, L.e.d. light upgrade throughout. ACS roof spoiler. H&R sport sprigs, Angel eye upgrade, euro sticker, ,matte black grills.
NICE!!!
I tried the same set up with a 50ohm 10 watt resistor and it only gives and error for a second or two. But yours looks good. What resistor did you use.?

Mike - you're one LED freak. Great work, I must say. Please share some pictures when its done.
Yes I am... If I ever get a extra set of LCI tails... you'll see the turn signal turn white.. but damn its a lot of soldering and LED bulbs! LOL. But not for a while, maybe end of summer.
Also, these are for the LCI tail lights with Bruce Miranda's V4 cables. I assume it would be the same setup for all other LCI tails, But please note, I have a 2004 car. Just like my LED Turn Signal DIY, it doesn't give me errors but gives people with a e60 LCI errors during start up but dissappears.
No error message ever shows on the car. =) I'm planning to upgrade the bulbs. Get some 25 SMD LED bulbs so its nice and bright, not like these dinky LED bulbs.
