LED bulbs for rear turn signals?
Has anyone replaced their rear turn signal bulbs with an LED version?
WeissLicht seems to have a set for the front turn signals, but I'm having a hard time finding anything for the rear.

So I had a chance to install the front and rear bulbs (turn, brake, reverse) and I can confirm they are 100% awesome!
They are noticeably brighter than stock, and fill out the entire bulb area nicely...no noticeable dark areas. No codes, or warning messages either. I'll try and post a vid if I get a chance tomorrow. Now I just need to look at the license plate and side marker bulbs...

I just ended up ordering front/rear signal, brake, reverse and license plate bulbs from AliExpress and couldn't be happier. Here's a video (taken at night in the snow) to give you an idea of what they look like. http://cl.ly/Sno7

If you want to do the rears, you will need 4 total pairs of bulbs: brake, turn, reverse, and license plate. (I just ordered the license plate bulbs today, so I can't comment on how they look just yet). Brake and rear turn signal (you need 2 pairs total) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-s...063943732.html Reverse (one pair) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-s...064251556.html License plate (one pair) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-s...064439371.html Front turn signal (one pair) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-5W-...793352994.html These are the exact bulbs I have installed on my X5 right now, and I can confirm they are a plug and play install and don't throw any kind of error codes. However, the reverse, brake and license plate bulbs do flicker during the bulb check on startup. I am looking into having the bulb checks coded out. A bit of background, the flickering is due to the CANBUS system sending a small amount of power to each bulb to see if it's operational, however since LED bulbs require a much smaller amount to turn on, a quick flicker occurs. From what I can tell, this is an issue that affects all LED bulbs.
