Hi,

Seems like no reply...

I rephrase the question:

How to improve the rear lighting of E90 320i PFL (Black Line) tail lamp.
Becos I found it quite dim in the night (without stepping on the brakes) there are something like 3 red lines only..
Any bro can advise ? LED to brighten up?

Please don't say change to other tail lamps !

THANKS ALL !!

By changing to LED, does not make it brighter. For LED to be bright, it has to be overclock with a CPU.

Re: E90 320i PFL LED TAIL BULBS

it will actually be brighter without overclocking....LED normally uses less energy so for example if your original glass bulb is 21w....u put in a 21w led, it will be damn bright but the challenging thing is the car is programmed to recognize a certain set of values so high chances are u will get error messages and faster burnout. a lower wattage than the one for the bulb would be more than sufficient but will need resistors n stuff.
lastly, it would be best if a higher quality led is used such as Cree, Bridgelux or Samsung's SMD Leds....not run of the mill cheap china or taiwan, korean leds.

sorry, currently nothing yet for the brake lights.
am still testing that out.

we are having some prototypes for headlamp led signal arriving in a week's time.
will be doing trial runs on that
