Don't use LEDs on the reverse/turn signals ... they will give you all kinds of errors
I bought two sets and ended up installing them on the E46 ... they did not give any errors there! (strange, hah?)

In that case you need registors to do the thick.

I did led lic. plate bulbs..they work great...they have resistors.....i tried them from jlevisw about a year ago and i got errors..sent those back for a refund...

Since I tried the led reverse bulbs...and got errors......I came up with something else....

I bought the Solaris invisibulbs...(ultrabright) with a white blue hue........

These suckers look as bright as led's.....so I installed those for the reverse bulbs....look as good as LED's..

it sucks that i installed the led taillights but my led directional bulbs did not fit in the new taillights so I had to use stock amber ones.
