24 SMD LED Turn Signals vs OEM
All of the vendors seem to be selling these. They are all come from the same mfg. Can anyone comment on the lighting intensity and look vs OEM which is LED as well. Is it worth the price of admission??
Would love to see some comparison photos as well. TIA This is the kit... AutoTecknic 24 SMD LED Fender Turn Signal - E9X M3 - Amber Orange LEDs - Ultra White LEDs (Off-Road Use Only) Complete replacement combination set of the matte black fender grilles and the high powered 24 SMD LED fender turn signals for the E9X M3. Customers can choose to buy them as a combination set or purchase the 24 SMD LED fender turn signals separately. These LED fender turn signals are a great way to increase visibility when switching lanes, and the color matching LEDs can also increase the overall aesthetic appearance of the car. Features - 24 High-powered SMD (Surface Mounted Device) LEDs on each turn signal light. - Direct plug-&-play, no error codes guaranteed! - Enhanced visibility with modern OEM appearance. - Reflector added for a complete 180° array of illumination. - Available in amber orange & ultra white color (off-road use only). - Ultrasonically sealed for a seamless look. - Superior brightness & craftsmanship compared to original & similar products

I will def purchase the ultra white very soon. Only thing holding me back is the pain in the ass it takes to take the side gills out.

I'm curious as well on these. Getting ready to pull side gills and if they are out might as well change out the lights.

No one has any comparison shots? Is it safe to say that they are inferior to OEM?

I have a set of these on the way, I'll try to remember to take some before/after shots.
I ordered amber, IMO they look better, plus they're legal. |

I installed mine this morning (ultra white) - sadly 5-6 leds in the the right blinker are burnt out or not working so there's a dead spot in the middle of the led strip .. working with the vendor to get a replacement but it'll be a pain in the ass to remove and reinstall .. they are very bright though and look trick! I would get them again .. I just hope QC isn't a problem..

Here's my comparison video. Camera left is OEM, camera right is 24 SMD LED turn signals from **********s (same manufacturer as AutoTecknic?)
As you can see the 24 SMD LED lights are quite a bit brighter than OEM. Worth $100 for something you'll almost never see? Maybe not. (if it shows an error try again in a few minutes, it's still being processed) Also I've attached a couple photos.

Total waste of $100. Stock signals are LED, you really need a few lumens brighter? LOL

Meh. I'm happy with it. I can see the blinkers reflecting off walls next to the road now

I have had them for 2 months. My problem with them is the part of the light did stop working. Possible due to water getting into it when I wash the car.

I bought the bright white ones from JLevi 3 months ago and have had no issues. I think they look great with my white angel eyes and white lighting all around the car (under door handles, trunk)

It's way more than a few lumens. The 24 LED fender signals are so bright they're painful to look at directly when you're standing next to the car. They're much more visible than OE in daylight as well. Increased visibility is a good thing. Not sure about reliability though.

I have a set of these on my car that I purchased from E92 Lighting. I got the dark tinted version. I haven't had an issue with them and because of the dark tint they aren't blindingly bright when they are on.
