Retrofit rear brake and turn light bulbs to LED?

Is it possible to replace the brake and turn bulbs to LED's?
Have not read about anyone that has done it so far.....

I have thought about doing it too..
It is funny that other cars like Hyundai and KIA are using full LEDs now while these most updated X6 & 3 series are all using halogen bulbs.

I have seen several cheap bulbs online.
They do seem bright, and advertised to be error free (CANBUS is the keyword).

This website seems to have pretty nice LED bulbs:

Unfortunately, our tail light housing does not have those LED "patterns" for turn signals (either dots or strips). So other than benefiting from being brighter and has faster on-off blinks, I really don't think it will make much difference.

Totally agree with you, there is not much to do on tail lights
