335IS Reverse Light Change

I was wondering if anybody has replaced the stock reverse bulb to an upgraded LED?

I am thinking of changing mine to a bright white LED, but I am not sure what bulb to use, what brand, and if it will throw codes.

Is there a cheaper alternative? I find it hard to pay $139 for 2 small LED bulbs

I use 7W Cree with CanBus reverse LED's in my 09' E92 - not sure what type bulb your car uses. These things are like looking at a nuclear blast

Found here:

Of course you know, that even if the LED is CanBus & does not throw an error - that it will strobe/flicker every time you start up your car during the Cold Bulb Check & again during any Warm Bulb checks.

Only way to stop that is to code out the Cold/Warm Reverse Light checks and Error Reporting for Reverse...

I actually have grown to love the short little "rave show."
I have even been asked how I make them do that, and where they can go to make theirs do it too
Most people think it's pretty cool and, hell, I never see it!
