BMW F30 - LED Indicator/Turn Signal | Cree LEDs | www.HorizonLEDs.co.uk
Hi All,
After a massive following on a sister forum - E90 Post, we also sell many LEDs for the F30 BMW too and after a number of orders from F30 owners we though we should also showcase our products on this side of the forum too! Below is our reputable thread on E90 post, incase anyone wishes to check our reputability: - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...951698&page=15 In this thread one of our customers wanted to try out our 50W Cree LEDs in Amber/Yellow for his 2013 F30 330d (UK Model), he bought the 50W in the following bulbs for both the front and rear: - Front Indicator/Turn Signal 581/BAU15S/PY21W - CREE LED http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/cree-le...15s-py21w-cree Rear Indicator/Turn Signal 1156/BA15S/P21W - CREE LED http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/cree-le...A15S-P21W-cree Here is the video he kindly made for us, remember this is in daylght. These are immensely bright at night/dusk: - All our CREE LEDs are sold in singles, due to some customers only wanting the one single bulbs e.g. motorcycles. But we do offer discounts when buying more than one, plus the usual forum discount on top of that too! Every item we sell has a warranty and these bulbs are a simple plug & play job. Tried and tested, a very nice, easy yet subtle modification to your pride any joy! No canbus errors, hyper flashing etc... these are highest quality GENUINE Cree LEDs hence why the perfect compatiblity. As always if you have any questions just ask us, we cater for every single vehicle LED solution possible! For a quicker/urgent response please email us at Forums@HorizonLEDs.co.uk, also please remember we ship worldwide! Thanks, Zain @ HorizonLEDs |

Hi,
LEDs don't use more power than your current bulbs, the whole purpose for LEDs is to be energy efficient and low power. The wattage figures are an 'equivalent to' if you was to have halogens. So in simple terms even the 50W Cree LEDs only use about 4/5W through your cars wiring, when they are bright as a 50W halogen! |

While you're at it, you might also want to correct the bit that states they're "NOT SMD" because they definitely look like it to me (although I don't know what your issue is with SMD LEDs). Cheers |

Hey Guys,
Not been a while since we posted on here, but wanted to share some pictures with you seen as LED Headlight Kits are becoming more and more popular. Although not a BMW, still a German marque, an Audi A4 B8 2013 Model fitted with our H7 Cree LED Headlights. The exact same model which is used on a lot of BMWs without factory fitted Xenons. This Audi A4 comes factory fitted with those rather ugly looking yellow headlamps as below: - With our Generation 1 H7 Cree LED Headlight Kits, this was a simple plug & play job and really has upgraded the look of the dipped/low beam headlights, which really do make an impression on this Audi A4! All the cables and wiring was placed into the headlamp unit allowing full closure of the back of the headlamp keeping the moisture away: - Here are some pictures of the product fitted against the factory halogen DRL bulbs to show the difference: - We do get asked about the beam pattern, although it is not exactly to spec of OEM halogens, it still is very close and after many tests they don't cause glare like HID kits. Some pictures of the differences: - Picture of both headlamps fitted with the Cree LED kit, this is a pitch black country road without any lighting apart from our LEDs: - Now some proper side by side comparisons to show the real difference, although not massively improved like HIDs, they do travel a further distance and perform better than standard halogen bulbs, and of course look better too which is what most of us want anyway: - Another job well done with top quality & warranted products from Horizon LEDs with no CANBUS errors at all, this kit has been fitted to this car without any CANBUS resistors/errors! Below is the link to the products used in this installation: - http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/cree-le...light-kit-gen1 If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, we cater for any vehicle possible and worldwide shipping as standard! Faster replies can be received by emailing us at Forums@HorizonLEDs.co.uk - normally within 24 hours during normal working hours. Thanks, Horizon LEDs |

Also we now have the H1 Cree LEDs in stock and we have tested this model too. They were tested on a 2007 Honda Accord, which had the same issues as many other models out there which have the rather tight H1 bulb opening, which wouldn't allow previous H1 generations to be fitted. Here is the new range of the H1 LED Headlight kits which we now stock: -
http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/exterio...ghts-headlamps Here is the bulb kit used in this test: - http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/exterio...light-kit-gen1 The difference between the two is firstly the design, the Generation 1 is a fan based kit and the Generation 3 is a copper heat dissipation belt based kit. The Generation 1 uses Cree LEDs and the Generation 3 uses Philips Lumileds, the brightness is the same for both and they both will fit all vehicles which take H1 bulbs. Below you will see a video which we have made to show how they perform. Of course in reality these are much better, a video only can show a limited amount. The issue we had with these is that we cannot flash the main beam only without the dipped beam switching on too, seems most Honda's operate this way. So we let the HIDs cool down fully hence why you can see the discoloured blue/purple startup effect as they start to warm up when we flash the main beam. The pure white is the main beam, further in the video you will see the distance these can reach when activated. The furthest sign post (black and white arrows on the roundabout) is just slightly over 0.4 miles according to the trip computer. So in a nutshell although they are not extremely over powering as HIDs which used to be in the main beam, but they are purposeful as they can be used for flashing and there is no warm up time like HIDs, even the Fast Start HIDs we sell will not warm up quick enough to flash, something which a lot of drivers in the UK tend to use. Also when you use these to flash the LED driver does not get damaged over time like the HID Ballasts, so its an all round good product especially for those who want to match their main beams with their Xenon HID kit. Now you may be wondering which one to go for, well the Generation 1 is only available in 5000K and the Generation 3 is available only in 6500K. Depending on your HID kit, you have a choice here, but if you have OEM factory fitted xenons then the 5000K is going to be the best match. As always if you need any help or information, just let us know. For further enquires or order enquiries you will get a faster response from Forums@HorizonLEDs.co.uk, as we don't always monitor the forums as regular. Currently at time of posting this we have stock of the Generation 1 H1 available, the Generation 3 does have some delays and is on pre order only. We will be getting this back into stock very soon, but please email us for a more accurate date as we are still taking pre orders for this as we speak. The BMW main beams are normally H7 bulbs, as in our last post within this thread. Thanks for reading! Horizon LEDs |

Another quick photo album just come in to us. A massive thank you to Chris for taking the time out and taking these pictures for us of his lovely and very smart looking BMW 5 Series F10 model.
This BMW F10 came factory fitted with those rather ugly looking yellow halogen dipped beam headlights. With our brand new range of Philips Luxeon LumiLEDs Headlight Kits in the H7 fitment, these were a nice and easy install on the BMW F10, without any CANBUS errors at all. Although some customisation was required to the retaining clip as pictured. However for the 3 Series this is not required as they already have a spring loaded retainer. Another job well done with top quality & warranted products from Horizon LEDs with no CANBUS errors at all! Below is the link to the product used in this installation: - http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/cree-le...-led-headlight If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, we cater for any vehicle possible and worldwide shipping as standard!
