Yup, will be testing those LEDs for reverse lights.

Trying to also look for LED tail lights as well. Found 1 error free but it was a little to long, tried another one and they caused errors. lol. Trying out another set, hopefully by this weekend.

Are the reverse bulbs T10, you sure they aren't bigger?
I have some canbus T10s for my halo rings which I can try if they are the same fit.

you guys should spend some time on the coding forum, so you never have to worry about errors or which bulbs again

Yup, they should be T10. I've tried a few already and they fit fine. Just had to deal with errors though. If yours work let us know.

Update, I have also tried T15 and they fit. They were a little bigger and required a little force.

Well said bro'.
I already did that. No need for resistors.

They give errors also. Work fine on parking lights though.
Coding is not worth the risk, seen too many 1.5 tonne paper weights on the bmwcoding forums.
You're trying to make a $3 bulb work and if you brick the ECU it costs you 1000x more.

going to get it coded.... which ones did you have them turn off? all light errors? or can you just have them do certain ones only?

The bulbs I purchased earlier, both caused errors. I will just code away errors next weekend. Tired of testing all these bulbs.
