I think it's a bit hit and miss tbh. I have a £5 set that I picked up on Amazon that work perfectly. Other people using the same bulbs are getting warning messages. Doesn't seem to be related to the age or shape of the car, just pot luck.

You can go for just the bulbs in which case they can work out cheaper as the chap above has stated or can replace the whole unit, which is what I decided to do. Literally took about 20 seconds to take the OEM ones out and click the LEDs in place LOL. Well if you ask nicely he may just let you off a few bob here there lol Plus I had gone to see him (30mile trip) so he was kind enough to knock something off. I'll also be ordering front aero splitter and M3 rear lip off him in the next few months so repeat business ey. Lots of people vouch for Teddy on here and he is a rly helpful guy :-)
BTW are you coming to Gaydon? We'll all be on the EvoTechnik Stand (my 1st meet ever so try to come if poss). There is a thread floating about somewhere on here..

hahah, like it! Its so addictive!! Gaydon is hosting a BMW only fest (near Warwick) on Sunday 19th August from early morning til around 2pm ish. I'll ask Teddy if there are any more tickets and let you know if you're interested. I'm from near Guildford so further out thatn yourself but have wanted to go to a meet for a while and finally got round to it - it's gonna be One big meet with lots of people going, from Old school E30s to new school M3's etc etc.. chance to practice some photography LOL.

Teddy's based in Staines, Egham.. do you know where that is? Feel free to give him a call he's a nice chap and gives very sound advice. Can't remember the amount of times i've called him to ask about things from Springs to Coils to Lights.. he's got the lot. He also recently signed up with BC coilovers so best talk to him for advice and tell him what you're after and i'm sure he could help.

The other company which i found instrumental courtesy of P5UML on here was Corby Motorsport, open til 10pm!! Called them up and said I want a drop on the car and have been offered 2nd hand coils and he was not at all annoyed that I won't be buying off him.. it's people like those you want to know and talk to ... makes me actually wanna buy off him next time as there's no hard sale.

when i was on the evo forum with my old car it was just full of the same idiots tht all new each other being really pally and not helping out or just taking the mick outta you was stupid.

No worries bud, always good to meet the people on here :-) I'm still learning my way through so you can never have too many contacts lol. Yeah bluewater sounds good to me, hopefully can get a meet organised soon. Right, I'm off but probably see me lurking around a lil later. Sam.

How do they look against the standard rear lights at night? Do they overpower the rear end.

Fitted mine last night, thankfully no errors, 3 SMD LED, plenty bright enough looks very oem to me.

From http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2306433501...ht_3361wt_1271

LED on the right, halogen to the left for comparison

Yep, those canbus ones with the 3 SMDs are what I got and they're great. The £25 are too expensive and are like fucking headlights they're so bright!!
