[quote=""X5Sport""]Really is that easy to fit. Unplug old one, twist holder out, twist new one into vacant position, reconnect and of you go. They will flash just a few times on start-up as part of the bulb check, but there'll be no bulb out warnings. LEDs need less current and have a near instantaneous (faster) 'rise time' than filament lamps, hence the flash being visible.[/quote]

I found on my old E39 the angel eye lights would strobe every few minutes as theybulb out test constantly monitors for a blow bulb. I don't know if it's different on the E53 as I disabled the checks with BMW scanner when I fitted them.

Only on startup, never after that.

My E46 flashes the indicator side repeaters every min or so as they are LED's.

You can turn checks off with BMW scanner... Can't remember if it's cold checks or hot checks

Ive got INPA so will have a look when I get round to modding my lead to 'see' all of the car.
