Thanks Man! I will try that first thing tomorrow morning

I really hope they will work. I really like the "New X5 look" now & don't want to go back to the old...

I tried to put led turn signals bulbs in but they caused the fast-flash, blown bulb warning. They looked AMAZING though with the led tails. I bought load resistors and wired them in series and in parallel with the two-wire turn signal bulb socket. The bulb wouldn't work in either case. I tried this with a 25w and 50w resistor. Can you help me?

I pretty much gave up and bought the stealth bulbs but I would love to have completed this mod.
