After searching for something to get rid of the ?egg yolk? look of the halogen turn signal PY24 bulb on my F10 and not finding anything, I was left with no choice but to spray paint the bulbs silver until a company came out with a solution.
Finally, WeissLicht came out with the PY24 bulb upgrade to LED turn signals for those of us with halogen headlights on our F10's. :happyanim:
I picked up a set from Ian at Bimmian and I honestly am very impressed with the quality and the light output of the LED turn signals. You can either have them in white or amber. Now all of us F10 owners with halogen headlights can get rid of the ?egg yolk? look and get that elegant LED shine without the hassle. No errors too, just plug and play
here is a quick video showing the comparison in illumination

Haha, did you make the video? I like how it was classical music, and then rap, lol.
Also, it might be because LEDs light up instantly, the frequency/rate that it blinks appears to be a bit faster than the halogen bulb. That is a little less desirable for me, and I wonder why that's the case since I don't notice that on my E60.

I'm little confused with your post and video! All F10 in Canada have LED signal light. How could your F10 have a bulb?

Thx for the info. No, I haven't bought the LEDs yet. I am planning to order them from Bimmian in the US. The ones I could find in europe are from xenon planet. But they only have the white ones, and are not by Weissleicht.
