Lol, If you look into the bulbs required for BMW's, you will notice almost all of them are Single filaments. Thus meaning, that the LCM switches circuits to make 6-Volts for Running lights and 12-Volts for flashing/turn/brake lights. You cant properly use LED in the X5. I bought a set of the smoked LED tails only to find out later on that the LED's in one tail stopped working completely. I then bought yet another set thinking it was just a bad batch. Same problem happened again. I investigated a little further and found out about the 6 to 12 volt issues. They might have fixed the issues with the newer LED tails because I bought some of the first runs they sold... hope this helps
BTW Dont for get your capacitor with the LED Tails
