Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2018 BMW 650i?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your BMW's appearance and safety profile. Since your 650i uses a single LED Headlights bulb for both high and low beams, ensure your chosen LED kit is "dual-beam" compatible. This allows the LED circuitry to mimic the two-filament design of the original halogen bulb. Because BMW utilizes a CANbus system, standard LED bulbs may cause "bulb out" errors on your dashboard. Always opt for "Error-Free" or CANbus-ready kits which include the necessary resistors. Don't forget the 2504 fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
