since these are "80 watts" do you have to install resistors to prevent hyper flash? Is it enough wattage to match the oem bulbs draw &amp; not blink fast

All led blink faster if u don't like that yes u have to install resistors .I never have problems with blinking faster.

I use these on every installation I do and I've not had to change out the flasher relay yet. I've not experienced any issues with these load resistors I use these with confidence every time with every install. ~Dubbs~

I bought these in dual filament 7443, yes they work. However, the brightness between the two filaments is not as apparent as the OEM bulb. I would say when the brakes are applied the OEM bulb is twice as bright, these LEDs are brighter than OEM when running, but when the brakes are applied maybe only get 20% brighter. Not too much difference...

I have personally used these with 85w halogens. I don't think 9006 bulbs come with much higher wattage than that. I believe these will even work with those HID retrofit kits as well. Hope this helps.

They are 65 watt, same as the original, and do not operate any hotter than original. I have had no problems using this series bulbs on either of my vehicles. They do operate in a different wavelength band thus giving them the whiter / brighter appearance.

These are not just regular LEDs. They are LEDs controlled by a small controller chip. The forward current varies wildly as they flash as can be noted by watching the current with a scope. No need for a series resistor at all. Just hook them up to 3 VDC or so and away you go. I noted that they begin to work well at about 2.5V and current draw begins to get fairly large at about 4V. Within that voltage range no need for resistors.

Hey, I installed these in my car and yes, they do cause a hyper flash (car's way of telling you that one of the bulbs is out). I ordered these 5ohm resistors that are made for these kind of situations, spliced them in and it fixed the problem. These bulbs are really good. Just make sure the ones you get look like the ones in the picture, I once ordered a pair and they were the old style ones in the new packaging. Good luck.

Check out high def forum or Google search using model number and size. I don't think its hard to do however I would stay away from bulbs non OEM as fires can occur using cheap Chinese copies.

Yes, You need to install wirh load resistor if there is flashing faster. Please refer the link below to know what load register is. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007G6MQVM Regards Customer Service

Check ur bulb number of ur car.....far as continuous use yes there great led bulbs do not get hot will need resistor for hyper flasing

I don't understand your question.... Which BMW? What size is the bulb supposed to be? If using for reverse lights, these should work. Didn't need load resistors on my Charger.

Hello, I put these bulbs in my 2002 Jaguar X-Type and they work perfectly. I do not have the speedy flashing that some bulbs actually cause. Hope this helps.....

I didnt use a load resistor and have had no problems with them, only used as tail/brakelights tho, and i will say they are about 10 times brighter than the factory bulb

Yes you will use your OEM bulbs for this item.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

The main thing to worry about is what the wiring and harness can handle as far as current/wattage. However, most wiring can handle it as its not a huge increase in wattage, its the same as a normal house bulb after all. :) My original bulbs were rated at about 50W also, and these new bulbs have been working great since I put them in a year ago. Still working, no problems! Also, they look great and give better coverage than the stock bulbs I had in before.

This is a single fillament style bulb. Does not require resistors. You only need resistors when a dual filament is used for flashers / blinkers.

they flash too quickly i did tht mistake of not buying them then i had to order the resistors unless u like ur turn signals to flash twice as quick
