Hey folks, a few of questions:

Anyone know of a e90 LCI DIY replacement for reverse bulb? I could not find any
Recommendation for super-bright LED CANBUS replacement ? - I've read all sorts of info about bulb being soldered, needing reprogramming, etc...but wouldn't any SMD LED Canbus T10 work?
How do I know which LED is brighter? Some have large but fewer LEDs, other small but more...so how will I know that the LED will be brighter then the OEM bulb's 12V/16W

Thx

Thx, but all I could find was that you got some LED bulbs off eBay which you tested on your e91 and worked...could you pls send me the link to the DIY?

Never made a full DIY because its THAT simple to change them. Just follow the steps in the owners manual.

The only issue I had was that the LED bulbs need to be turned so that positive and negative terminals are correctly aligned. No biggie.. If the light doesnt go on, then rotatate the bulb 180 degrees and try again!
