Turn Signal Replacement?

alpwhite46 · 04-02-2017, 09:21 AM

Hi guys,

I haven't taken a look inside the bay yet, but is it simple to do? I couldn't find a guide anywhere, although I'm sure its easy - NON LCI

Was considering of getting rid of the orange bulb and getting an LED in there...does anyone have one that they ordered that doesn't spit out an error code?

Have both bimmian and from super bright LEDs. You need to get canbus error free led bulbs but there is no guarantee for error free. They can still throw error and/ or flicker while driving unknown to you. You need to code it to disable voltage check otherwise live with errors or flicker.

Forgot to say they will also hyper flash. You need to have resistors installed as well or just code to disable voltage check without all the issues.

Has anyone tried painting the bulb lightly with silver finish?
