I'm not having any heat issues, I think you'll be fine there. Coding removes cold diagnostics (blinks when off) and warm diagnostics (checks when the bulb is turned on.)

Basically, these LEDs plus coding works perfectly - no compromises.
I got a response from him already and he acknowledged the lack of headlight flashers going back to the 80's in BMW's. He also said that BMW's still varied quite a bit on the types of checks placed on the bulbs and there is a trend for the computer to drive the turn signals with higher wattage, but they did not know why.

I'm placing my order now for 4 amber and 2 red. Just realized I probably need to add two more for the rear fog lights/inner brake lamps since they are also used for brake force display. The "instant-on" of LED might help there.

Thanks for the great information to all on this thread!
