Talking Goodbye egg yolk !!! Welcome LED shine!!

After searching for something to get rid of the “egg yolk” look of the halogen turn signal PY24 bulb on my F10 and not finding anything, I was left with no choice but to spray paint the bulbs silver until a company came out with a solution.

Finally, WeissLicht came out with the PY24 bulb upgrade to LED turn signals for those of us with halogen headlights on our F10's.

I picked up a set from Ian at Bimmian and I honestly am very impressed with the quality and the light output of the LED turn signals. You can either have them in white or amber. Now all of us F10 owners with halogen headlights can get rid of the “egg yolk” look and get that elegant LED shine without the hassle. No errors too, just plug and play

here is a quick video showing the comparison in illumination

After:





If your interested, they can be picked up from Bimmian at the following link

Install is easy but not as easy as just switching out the PY24 halogen bulbs. You really have to be precise when inserting the LED into the socket on the headlight or it won't turn on (a lot of hit or miss) It's very easy if you take the wheel off though, since you can clearly see what your doing.

Looks good. In the last portion of the video did you have the hazzards on? I thought I saw a timing delay. But the light is really nice looking.

Yeah, after looking at the video closely I do notice the timing delay your talking about, I don't know if it was the video itself or the actual car. In person however it blinks just right

Thanks for the feedback!!
