Count_duku 4th Gear July 28, 2013 Share July 28, 2013 I tried installing one of those cheap t10 led into the side lights (evening lights) slot. The moment I slot in even without key in the ignition, it lights up, cannot switch off and blows the signal light in the process + canbus error. Sigh.. lesson learned dun use non canbus LEDs, plugged back old regular bulb and replaced signal light. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also back side itchy one day and bought those led from eBay that mentions they are canbus error free. Not really expensive. I swapped out the side signal lights and the side lights. Try those that mention canbus free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

W5W is still the best, don't trust these led from eBay anymore. They are mostly made of crap chips that doesn't last as long as a typical w5w, the good one cost 10 or 20 times more than a typical bulb. Just changed mine to red w5w sidelights, the centre light is now red... A bit too 'beng'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep the original in the boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmojon 1st Gear July 28, 2013 Share July 28, 2013 Went up to Port Dickson and back over the weekend. I was up in MY (Ipoh) too. My friend drove his M3 there. My car is still under observation for the cooling system that was repaired so did not take the risk to drive there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK will try canbus ones, but not red though .. maybe strobe red and blue but seriously, I am looking for a single forward firing bright LED that does not light up the housing reflectors. Something that can be seen even during the day, will really make the front look mean. Not exactly DRL but something that will integrate with the design of the hooded headlamps.

You mean the CREE type of bulb? Like a mini projector lamp Random link, http://www.dhgate.com/product/t10-w5w-5w-c.../144554926.html I don't think it will work for us as our sidelight is 'tuck' into the top of the housing, the front projection is blocked.

Yeah saw the Cree 5w on eBay will buy this one. I know what you mean, if you look from further away the side light can be seen, just hidden when you look from near/top.

I use these for about 3 weeks. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.sg/viewitem...Id=390566098152 I also did the yellow tint on the fog light same as you did before. Light penetrate through haze very well.
