They are not LED; they are standard orange incandescent bulbs. I wish they were LEDs, but hey, I still like the new look.

if you add resistors that issue should go away. a friend of mine with a modded grand marquise had the same issue with LED bulbs, and resistors solved that problem.

Thanks Essam! By the way, my 14 year old kid did the install almost by himself! I just gave him the 8mm socket wrench and a Philips head screwdriver and he did the rest. What an easy mod and a great new look for the X5. I took a ride tonight in the dark and they are very bright and look great.

Probably should have confirmed this earlier, but how come all the ads say up to 2005, not 2006, did they change something?

I am assuming just an error in the listings, but I wanted to double check.

These are the Sonar lights. They don't have LED "turn signals" (the picture from the link is show with out any light bulbs for the turn signals, you can see the whole inside the white lens for you to plug in the bulb).

Only the "Park" and "Brake" light are LEDs.

You can send them a note to make sure the turn signals are LED too
