Reverse lights

zeenon53 · 10-29-2011, 11:51 AM

Are there any brighter reverse lights available for a 2009 e90? It's tough backing up with dark tinted windows and the stock lights.

I bought LED reverse lights from modmy 3. I get one error code it when I start my car it beeps once then turns off. If that doesn't bother you then get those.

(seriously, i'm doing it soon enough... i have 5% tint on my rear windshield and i have 10% tint over my lights... so i REALLY don't see anything when i back up. I have to roll down my windows to see)

They are legit. Brighter then stock.

They replace the 921 bulb. I'm not sure what is in your model. Takes 10 seconds to check though.

Do they strobe at start-up?

The only BMW E9x's that are notoriously finicky with errors are the 06-07 models. The newer the car, the less likely it will throw errors (yes, it's over-simplified, but for new people, this helps a lot)

Nope. For you, use the AutoLumination "7 Watt Eagle EYE SMT Tower" (http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm) in the 1156 base mount, in white obviously. Then, you will either need to wire in a resistor, or get bulb-check coded out to avoid throwing errors. Hope this helps!

I know Lux has brighter reverse lights for LCI e92/e93, but I don't think for pre-LCI.

check it out though

zeenon53 · 11-01-2011, 12:55 PM

I just ordered a set so we'll see how it goes....

The high performance bulbs reverse lights are brighter then stock. Also white in color. They are only for PRE LCI e92 (so not 2011 or 2012). They fit some E90 models like 09-2011. You can double check by pulling the bulb as its a 921 style.

The Lux is only for LCI e92 so 2011+.
