Weisslicht LED's installed!

I just installed the WeissLicht LED Halo LED bulbs in my X today. Last week i installed the WeissLicht PY24w's.

Today is a very bright day but from what I can see the halo's look really great. I had the high watt GP Thunders in the halo's before these. I can say that these LED's are not as bright (not by much) during the day. Now, they do match the corner LED's now perfectly.

I got codes with those 85w high power Thunders every day but I lived with it. These new LED's throw no codes at all. Additionally, at night when my head lights were on the Thunders looked like OEM bulbs. I believe they would go half power or something when the headlights were on and looked quite bad. These new LED's maintain the same power output with the lights on or off, a definite bonus!

I'll post pics after it gets dark later.

WOW....You are lucky! Our Weisslicht LEDs for the Corona Rings arrived yesterday from Bimmian. We ordered a set for the "11 35d and our '10 M6. SAME bulbs, same part #...yet Bimmian charged $5 more for the M6!

BOTH in the 35d and the M6.....ERROR codes!! You think they are bright? We thought they looked dim, muted, too bluish and just really bad! Even if they had no Error codes, the GP Thunders are much brighter, crisper and look better...lights on or off.

OK, so I have decided to STOP trying to get a better Corona Ring. NOTHING is going to look the like factory LED rings the new 5 Series and 3 Coupe have. NOTHING. GP Thunders are the best compromise. They are just a direct bulb replacement, they are not yellow at all, they are very inexpensive...

So disappointed with Bimmian and these crappy LEDs. Funny, how you love them, and I hate them!! These just stink of cheap, Chinese Sh*t. Dressing them up with a German name and selling them in a cool, high quality box in the colours of the German National Flag...does not make a great product. Slimy and deceptive marketing at it's best!!!

Thanks.

100 - I never said I loved them, I just like them better than the Thunders because:
1. They maintain the same color lights on or off - perhaps mine did this because I had the 85w, donno...
2. They match my corners really well...

Way - I have the white. I can't imagine I would get stopped for this. I would really be surprised.. Are they legal? I don't think white turn signals are legal anywhere in the US. One other option would have been to have that guy that advertised on here from Brooklyn to deactivate my corners with the lights on. His reprogram only turns hem on when the blinkers are on. That way I could have picked up the amber blinking lights that are white/clear in the reflector when the light is off.. So many options..
