hmm..interesting - so no strobing on startup in light position "A" ?
I've got led bulbs with the resistor but they strobe on startup even in A.

Personally I like the "Strobing" effect, it makes it seem like the Beast is just waking up!!

I have installed the LEDs and they work FLAWLESSLY with NO error codes or flickering. Man these bulbs are bright! I will highly recommend them rather than going through the hassle of OEM route. Install took 30 seconds per side. Complete plug and play. What a great mod!!! Sorry for the low res iphone pics.

Guys.. I got my LED's in the mail yesterday and installed them in about 5 mins. MAN THEY LOOK GREAT. I have to say this was a very nice mod. First thing i did was check to see if there was an Idrive error. NONE.
The bulbs came nicely packed... they are from japan or something and they did a great job. I will post pics but they are on a silver gray 525i.
Buy them while you can!

Any good mods for DayTimeRunning lights i.e flash high beams.. would be nice if something can be done to change the color for morning times.

The guy does not want to sell to people outside the US. Like Andy is someone able to pick one up for me and post this to the UK. I'll pay for everything via Paypal.

Ordered too. Didn't want to wait for OEM + custom adapter/cables etc.. hopefully these ebay LEDs will last longer unlike the 39mm festoon with 9 LEDs @ www.autolumination.com which lasted only 5months.
