I was convinced these were a sealed LED unit - my fog light has gone and I was about to replace the entire light unit and only just discovered from this video that its not an LED unit at all! Thanks for saving me about £98!
Thanks for comment, I think you'll need a Ring Pro 380 P21/5W Car Bulb Twin Pack If you're in the UK you can get this from halfords I'm not sure if they are worldwide or even on ebay or euro car parts
Hi, thanks for the questions. All the bulbs should be changeable. FOR BMW 3 Series F30 F31 Upgrade P21W Ba15s ERROR FREE LED Reverse Light 6000K is the reserve bulbs, and it should be the same or ERROR FREE 382 P21W 1156 BA15S XENON WHITE CANBUS LIGHT BULB REVERSE BRAKE STOP Ebay or Amazon should have them
You probably need the brown earth connection & the green stripe one too. But you might get away with just the green stripe one. I normally would use an earth connection & a positive terminal for power
Morning Gabriel, if you are local to Halfords I used Halfords 380 P21/5W Car Bulbs x 2 led bulbs Also you can find them on eBay. They make a difference. Hope this helps.
Hi yes they are both reversing bulbs: 380 P21/5W Car Bulbs x 2 led bulbs if you have a local halfords or euro carparts the should sell them or on ebay or amazon www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133834137326

@@phutran5698 This error code indicates that one or more outputs of the rem module circuit exceeded the number of allowed circuits, the rem module is the rear electronic module of the BMW (rear electronic module). This is not a major fault, unless at the time of making the installation of the lights a short has occurred. Otherwise, it is simply that one of the circuits is overloaded perhaps you did not take the outputs or the connectors correctly towards the lights, so it is good to check them again. You might just need to replace a fuse.
Hey there, the reverse wire should already be there. It's just for you to plug in the camera cable and hardwire the remaining wire to an earth connection or part of the car if it needs extra power. Like a screw or bolt
@@christopheranderson4476 , Anytime. You shouldn't need to. Especially with the bmw it should just be plug and play. The cable should automatically give you power
Hi Robert, you might be able to reach the bulbs with just 3* Screws but it could be a challenge. It's best to remove the whole boot lining, so you don't damage anything or yourself. 👍
At last, a video that will solve my problem of removing the liner. Thanks mate.
I'm glad it was helpful 👌🏾

I did the same thing on my F30 with the same LEDs.
They work very well.
What kind are they ?
@@Mikeaawwck
I don't know the bulb type, but I bought them on AliExpress. It's a SMD LED technology.
Useful thanks, but something really bothers me: It's pozidrive number 2 on the clips and torx for the centre bolts!
Thanks for watching my video. Yes it's a flat head pozidrive or screwdriver. The centre bolts with torx. 🙋♂️
Anyone know how to remove the whole lamp. Mine is loose

great vid, I have a question, how did you remove the stock light bulb? was it just a twist? or is there a specific way to remove it?
push down and twist
Hi how do you remove the whole lanp.? One side of the lamp on my f30 2013 malaysia model loose. Iwonder why
Hey, thanks for the comment. Once you get to the back and unscrew the bolt's it should allow you to wriggle it out of place.
Thank you for the good tips.
@@yapkh8 , that's alright anytime.😊
I just removed the lamp n found our the clip on the side is broken. how do I go about repairing it?thanks so much for your tips
@@yapkh8 , Oh gosh sorry to hear. Can you send me a picture of it? So the back of the lamp & the broken part if possible?
Rear fog light replacement?
What's up?
Same need a tutorial for that?
Is the bulb you got canbus error free? The flickering is caused if it’s not canbus I believe.

Oh gosh sorry to hear. What model bmw have you got. That shouldn't have happened. It's not anything to affect your module 🤷♂️

Hi mate, are these bulbs fitments also known as bay15s? I have a 2018 BMW 1 series and wanted to upgrade the reverse light bulbs.
Hey there, Yes they are also known as bay15s but make sure you get the led upgraded one's. 🙋♂️
Hi mate I'm installing a reverse camera in My 2015 f30 do you know which is the reverse wire please thanks
Hey there, the reverse wire should already be there. It's just for you to plug in the camera cable and hardwire the remaining wire to an earth connection or part of the car if it needs extra power. Like a screw or bolt
@@joshuasherwain thanks for replying and there's no need to tap into the reverse wire to engage reverse for the camera

Can you remove 3*screws holding left side of the boot lining, turn it slightly inwards, put your hand in gap and remove bulb?
Hi Robert, you might be able to reach the bulbs with just 3* Screws but it could be a challenge. It's best to remove the whole boot lining, so you don't damage anything or yourself. 👍
Sherwain Nurse thanks for that. Nice clear video
Must be coded?
No coding needed. Plug & play

why you need to put out all black internal layer ?
Or else you would not be able to get to the unit that holds the light bulbs. 👍🏽
Hi what reverse light do I need for a f82 m4? Non lci
