Am about to jump the gun on these off ebay but I'd like your opinions first.

I know there's a risk that it may not work properly so if any of you guys have tried this specific product and are successful with error free codes let me know. I think it will look great on my AW ride!

Or you can just get the bulbs from autoillumination for $6/each and get the resistors for $1.99(for a 2 pack) from Radio Shack.
That's what I've had on my car for over a year and I have zero issues.

They are easy to install, along with the resistors. At the TechTuning meet last month, I installed 3 sets of LED's and resistors on 3 E60's, for my fellow members. Took me about 10 minutes on each car. Come to the meet on June 7th, and I'll do it for you.

I think I'll bite on these and if they don't work then I'll have to go for C's route. I prefer the simplest plug and play solution so i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Do u have those installed on your car ? Are they gonna give me any kind of errors on the iDrive ? and how hard is it to install it ?
yes I have it installed in my car. No error, just have to put resistors. there's a DIY guide on the forum.
Really easy. Its easier than changing the bulbs on your car. =)
