Group Buy: E70 LED lights - round 2
By popular demand, I am helping faciliate another group buy for E70 LED lights. I've spent quite a bit of time researching bulbs for the X5, trying a number of different types, and below are the bulbs that I believe to be the best design and value. I have personally tried all these bulbs in my X5, and I can vouch for their awesomeness. In general, they're about 20% brighter than stock, and give that nice crisp on/off flash that provides an updated look. Package A - complete 20pc interior LED kit - (2x 42mm festoon, 2x 1SMD T10, 8x 5SMD T10, 8x 9SMD T10) - (no errors/flickering) - $45 Link to optional interior trim removal kit - thanks rennis! https://www.ecstuning.com/ES517779/ Install guide - courtesy of ECS http://bd8ba3c866c8cbc330ab-7b26c6f3...LED_Lights.pdf Install tips - by me http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=76 Package B - front & rear turn signals - (2x PY24W & 2x 1156) - (no errors/flickering) - video 1 video 2 - $70 Package C - rear turn signals only - (2x 1156) - (no errors/flickering) - $35 Package D - brake & reverse lights - (2x 1156 & 2x T10) - (no errors, but will flicker for 2-3 sec on startup without coding) - $70 Package E - license plate bulbs - (2x 39mm festoon) - (no errors, but will flicker for 2-3 sec on startup without coding) - $10 Package F - front fog lights - (2x H11) - (will cause errors and flickering...possibly solved by coding - see here) - $30 Package G - front turn signals only - (2x PY24W) - (no errors/flickering) - $35 Shipping Shipping is free in the US. Canadian residents add $10 for regular mail, or $20 for priority. Rest of the world add $15 for regular mail, or $25 for priority. If you're interested, just let me know. Payment won't be due until I place the order at the end of January. Note: The above prices could go DOWN if we get a lot of people...I'll update the totals once the final tallies are in.

Package Misc 1. rennis Please note that this is a group buy from a 3rd party supplier. I am not a vendor and will not be able to accommodate returns. I'll be putting the order in this coming Thursday (1/31), so this is the final call if you want to get lights ordered. Update 1/31 - Due to Chinese New Year, I won't be able to place the order until the end of next week. Next Friday (2/7) is the new cutoff date for orders. Update 2/7 - Bulbs have been ordered. I had to purchase a few extra sets to get the discounted price, so the slots listed above are what I have available. Once these are gone, they are gone. Update 2/21 - Just received tracking via DHL for the bulbs. They should be arriving next week, and I'll do my best to get them shipped out ASAP. Update 3/2 - Shipments are packed, and will be dropped off tomorrow!

put me down for package E, are there any instructions for the coding to remove flickering? then again I can live with 2-3 flickering as long as there are no error codes!

Regarding the coding, the flickering is caused by the X5 sending a small amount of current to the bulb to test it. Since LEDs take less current to light up, the result is a slight flicker during the bulb check. The only way to prevent this is through coding, by disabling the cold/warm bulb checks. It's a pretty common coding option, so whoever you have do it should know exactly what to do.

Awesome, thanks for doing this.
1. Package B 2. Package F If I could throw in a few bucks for a few spare interior lights that would be awesome. I have really bad flickering in one of my map light (rear headliner bulbs) that I need to replace asap...driving me nuts. Thanks! |
