Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2017 BMW M240i?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your BMW's appearance and safety profile. We recommend starting your upgrade with the H7 LED low beams, as they see the most use. Adding a matching H15 LED LED kit later will complete the look and ensure consistent lighting performance. 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 H8 LED fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
