Currently I've got John's White LED front turn signal in them with no resistors Just don't know if I want the White LED's or Yellow not amber blinkers . Thanks for the complement Rival. It's great that it's finally done I'm really excited as you can tell And Yes I didn't for get about Simon and all his help making this happen.

The Important Key to this Conversion is for Pre 3/2005 built E60's have to swap pins in the Light Module or els AE will not light up correctly.... That's the Key to your answer.

Re-Pin the LM for AE to work properly (Pre 3/2005 built E60)
- pin 25, GR/GN, to pin 63
- pin 40, GR/BL, to pin 11

The Orion's Don't quit sit flush in the housing around the projector on the LCI, so I rather not have them.
