I love the sequential turn signals that I see on modern BMW's and other cars - but the BMW E64 doesn't have them as stock - well it does now! This video shows how to get a sequential-look from the front turn signals (indicators) without changing the eyebrow lights, any electronics or coding in 5 minutes!
If you cannot get exactly the same LED then you may need Carly to code the warnings out - I will cover this in my next video

Interesting effect. Nice and short video.
Thanks!
lol brilliant! Definitely going to do this mod to mine. Thanks so much for sharing!
Have fun!
Wow so cool. Didn't even think of that! Great Vid. again. Thanks Timm!
My pleasure J!
Hi Timm thanks for all the brilliant information
My pleasure!
That is super cool Timm! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the rear signal/blinker lights could do the same?
Yes, it's good fun isn't it!
You should have bought an Audi :-)
...just teasing :-) - nice little hack
Got a point there Brian!
Hi, I like the channel and thought this was a good trick to try on my 6 series, 645ci. I bought the led’s via your link to Amazon and fitted them but instead of getting the sequential effect it just looks like one very bright led and one not so bright standard bulb.
Well, you gave it a go - have another look in varying light conditions
Hello Timm, I trust all is well with you.
I own a 1995 Fjord Grey 840ci and have been trying to chase up an amp and 'pigtail' connectors (preferably) with a little loom on them, some fool not only took the amp out but the worst thing is, they cut the connectors off !
Would you know where I can source these please. I'm wanting to list this car for sale as I also own an 850i Calypso Red 1990 and need to move the 840 along (no garage space left). I'm concerned about selling the 840 without the amp and connectors, it has a BMW Business CD player in dash....once again, because someone pulled out all the insides of the multi stacker located in the boot (trunk). Sorry, rambled on a bit...PLEASE help if you can ! CHEERS !!
Unfortunately my old breaker of E31's has stopped trading - but Ebay often has E31's breaking
Hi Tim, just found your channel after buying a lovely E63 630i. Kudos to you Tim.... have massively enjoyed watching every video you have made, they have given me some great hints and tips. Keep up the excellent content and keep yourself fit and well
Thanks Mike, very kind of you!
Nicely done Tim......I might do that to my 645ci when I have the time....I am glad you still hold on to yours. I only bought mine after watching the positive vids from you while most people throw hate at the E63 and the V8.....keep up the good work....👍
Thanks Andreas, that's very kind of you!
Hi Tim, love your show! I don't have a BMW but I have always admired the 840/850 series for their design presence on the road. What are the advantages or other between the two - including the M - Series spec
Thanks Dave, the 850csi is above my pay grade, and in the UK the 850ci is limited to 1993 as only the 840ci went on until 1999. So, for me, the 840ci was always the one to go for, especially as I know the BMW V8 and 5-Speed ZF gearbox very well.
i love the idea! cool
Thanks!
Thank you from France Tim ! Your channel is vert useful , smart content.
This is a gold mine for E63/E63 users. 👌🏾🙏🏾
Glad you enjoy it! All the best from across the channel!
Very cool. Checked the link, product is unavailable on Amazon UK and on Amazon in Canada. Will look for an alternative.
It was available on Amazon UK - just checked!
Hi Timm this is Alvin your number one fan. Well you did it again my friend. Great video, I just ordered from Amazon
$21. Great find 👏 👏👏
At the beginning of this video, both front Signal lights We're flashing at the same time 🤔🤔🤔
ALVIN! Great to hear from you as usual, keep well!
If the turn signals are kept running for about an hour the tungsten gets pretty hot and can switch on a bit quicker - the effect is much more noticeable when they are cold - and when it gets dark!
Tim I have your car but mine is the coup I noticed one of your videos talked about the secret menu in it you can do a all the clocks check but I think it's cool when you see other bmw cars doing it when they get ready to start the car the clocks do a calibration check can you do a video that shows you how to do it thanks from 2006 650ci thanks
Hello Alexander, yes, all BMW's from 1988 have the instrument cluster check available using (usually) the trip button as the ignition is switched ON. But, as it is not pat of the general operation it cannot be made to operate without the special key-press
Great tip. The direction effect was not obvious to my eyesight in the video. I’ll try it anyway as it will probably look fine in the flesh. 👍
It's better in real life, especially at night...
Hello Timm, You have a great BMW repair channel, is there any way to contact you if we want to work with your channel?
Hello, no, this is an extension of Meeknet.co.uk, and both will continue as non-profit resource as it has been for 18 years!
@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation OK, Great community!
hello sir , i am a big fan of you , could we work together ? waiting for your PM ❤
Thanks, but no, this is an extension of Meeknet.co.uk, and both will continue as non-profit resource as it has been for 18 years!
@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation We hope to fully sponsor your builds/projects when you are in need of different kinds of parts in the future ,and even hope to give you a good offer (Paid promotion) in th future !
By this chance ,could we start our first time cooperation ?❤
Thank you, Tim, for another great video. I have the same 650i, except the in the very common silver. You have made me feel much better about being able to properly care for her, as they are known to have their quirks. Are you concerned about the heat these generate melting the plastic, or does it seem like it'll dissipate enough when they've been on a while?
Growing-up, I never thought I'd be able to afford a nice car. As an adult, I figured I could buy one used, but couldn't afford or have the skill to do a lot of the maintenance. However, your videos have made me much more confident, & I've even tackled a few projects that you haven't covered, such as installing a an aftermarket screen with Android & a backup camera.
Thank you, again, for all your effort. Your maintenance jobs would be a lot easier without having to film everything, so I truly appreciate the effort you put into these.
Yes, when I was young I was quite happy with old rusty cars, but one day I noticed that buyers were afraid of the big BMW's - and I've been buying them ever since! And thanks!
The halagon bulbs generate more heat than LED bulbs so won't be an issue melting plastic. I really like the idea as adds some personality to the car and not too "blingy".
@@arnolduk123 I ordered them right after watching the video. After spending so much a few upgrades for this car, with which I think I may have a borderline-unhealthy relationship, it was great to add some character cheaply. I was a little worried about heat, b/c some LED replacements for halogens do get quite hot, as Timm mentions. I think these will be fine. When researching foglight LEDs, I did read a couple reviews about some brands getting too hot & melting a housing or two.
@@cynic1864able Maybe they were cheaply made but LED lights do use less current than coventional bulbs. They should have a heat sink as standard. I think the LED bulbs in Tim's video at 0:56 are the wrong type and the more powerful LED's that are for day running lights or side lights. I know this because they have multiple LED's on all angles. Indicator LED bulbs are usually fronted only. Thought it would be important to mention that as they could be too bright and hot for indicators.
@@arnolduk123 Yes. I understand that. I almost mentioned heatsinks on other bulbs, but I was attempting to be brief. I could've elaborated a lot more on my experiences with swapping most of the bulbs on my 650 to LEDs - had to do a lot of reading, some trial & error, learning which bulbs need canbus, using single LED vs multiple LED bulbs, &c. It's been interesting to see LEDs come so far since I played with ones from RadioShack 35yrs ago. After having these bulbs in for a couple weeks, I think they will be fine. They were worth the twenty bucks. I do appreciate your input. Maybe, we've helped someone else move in the right direction for their Ultimate Driving Machine.
Love your videos. Youve helped me so much, and definitely saved me lots of money. Keep up the great work!
Great to hear!
