installed led turn signals
i bought a set of led turn signals to try it out. the light looks a little bluish within the headlight assembly but it does shine super white. took a few pictures, i tried to catch it while it was on and also tried with flash.
uploaded a video of it at night also

There would be a message on the dash, and the surn signals would blink rapidly.. Seems it's all good though![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Are you going to try the LED fog bulbs. I'm very interested how that would look..

Good looking. I bought them for the eyelids but was concerned for the sides but this looks real good.
I may buy another set.
I am still waiting on people to confirm how to change the bulbs on the fogs. I want to do this bad but cannot get anyone to confirm how to change them. I cannot locate the thread but I remember someone stating that you have to take the bumper off.

I went in through the fender liner, IIRC remove three screws and peel it back. For some unknown reason one side was much easier to replace than the other though.

That is a good question. I'd like to try LEDs also since the blue coating on the Hoen Xenonmatch Titanium bulbs I installed in the fog lights is peeling off due to excessive heat and I have never driven the car with foglights on, only on auto as cornering lights. That same Hoen bulb type has gone four years in OE fog lights in my M5 with no problems whatsoever and those have been used as driving lights during late night highway runs, turned on for four hours continually at a time. That shows the potential is there for LEDs to behave much as they do in the eyebrow application so based on my experience heat may be well an issue in the OE fog light.

still working, no errors.
just to clarify, the turn signals are not from Azn_300, only the eye lid and side marker leds.
i may purchase some more from you Azn_300 since i like that there are lights on the sides. i tried an LED for the interior but it only has one light that shines straight out. i tested it on the vanity mirror light above the driver... since the led light is pointed left when plugged in, the light would only reach half of the lens. it doesn't do a good job of filling it up.
it might work for lights that are pointed downwards, or even outwards like the side markers.... but i'll probably keep yours in the side markers since it's a lot more light output... maybe i'll put the single leds in the license plate lights, if they're pointed downwards which i don't know.

If you're looking for ones that just shine side to side, I've got a couple test set designs coming in that might be better suited for what you're looking for. Larger diodes than the one I'm currently carrying, but only two of them..one on each side.
