LED Bulbs for Turn Signals F/R
Hi Folks. Are there easy plug-n-play bulbs out there to get the factory look of LED for my front and rear turn signals on my E70 without errors/canbus/flash module issues? I saw some previous postings, but nothing specific regarding brand/model #. Thanks!

Either way, I've read the new Weisslicht LED bulbs won't throw an error - I think there are a few threads on it if you search around. |

Looks good. Are they blinking white as well?
The switchback LED bulbs are getting popular now. Clean white look when static and amber when blinking |

By "factory look", I just meant similar color (amber?) to other current BMWs with LEDs. Does anyone have actual item/model #s for Weisslicht or switchback?

Here is a picture of the Weisslicht LED bulb that is clear when not in use but turns to the amber color. Plug and play with no errors and no flickering at start up.

Now, switchbacks are a different story. White when static (ON), amber when blinking. I need to research and see which one is good for X5.. |

I ordered these switchbacks from WeissLicht but when I received my order they were the wrong type of bulbs meaning they didn't come with a socket that attaches to the base that screws into the back of the head lights. I called customer service which sucks by the way and was told switchbacks will NOT fit on an E70...I'm in the process of returning them and what really pisses me off is they will not give me back what I paid because , I have to pay to ship them back and there keeping 20% for a re-shelving fee!!! If I were you I would steer clear of these criminals and look for a different vendor

LED turn signals
This is what I received, as you can see there is no socket attached. I'm not sure what type of car these are for

I bought them from Bimmian...I told them on the phone that I saw a forum member's post with pictures who had installed them on his E70 and was told not to believe everything I see and read on forums...the guy was rude and insisted that they DONT make a set of switchbacks for an E70

Wow, I had a very different experience. I ordered something and needed to return it (my fault) and they refunded the purchase and had me keep the item because it was to expensive to ship back. No restocking fee.
The shouldn't be rude, but he is correct. They don't carry switchbacks for our model. If you select the E70 on the website you will see what is available.
