Trinity do a nice smoked turn signal, plus no errors, just a faint strobe for a few seconds on startup

We have had success with the Bimmian Smoked LED Sidemarkers. I have them on my 135 and Jon's 335, they do a good job at changing out the clear look and have nice illumination from the 3 individual amber LEDs.

Clear or Smoked LED Side Lenses

I have been looking at these for a while now, how is the fitment on the E60? Do you know?

Curious about this too. My side markers are looking real old "yellow". How bad is the "strobbing" that most talk about? 70's Disco strobbing?

OT, On a black car, would most recommend smoke or clear?

At start-up, there is a period of about 10 seconds where the LED's strobe like every second at a dimmer output. Some people make a big deal out of it but it's really not

GET SMOKED!

I think they run about $60 and already have a connector installed so no soldering is required.

I just purchsed the smoked LED's from Trinity and they are awesome. They were about $20 cheaper then Bimmian, but require minor splicing with provided kit. Bimmian does provide a "plug and play" connector if you are concerned with the splice. But IMO, it was very easy and it truely is minor. Not worth the uplift in price IMO. Good luck!

Is it the same exact design just with the added connector?
