Thanks for the info in this thread! I'm actually an amber fan, so I bought a used set for my '05 E53... All kinds of brake warnings in the cluster, even after verifying the bulb connections (which were/are in fact quite sketchy!).... Didn't realize the facelift cars have PWM controlled brake-lights and different pin assignments... I can get a set of Euro facelift ambers, but for some reason the left side is $65 and the right side is $236 at ECS... Just my luck!
