LED rear indicators

Has anybody bought and coded rear led indicator bulbs ? I've fitted mines for a couple months and occasionally get a rear indicator failure and it starts flashing double the speed ( normally when a bulb is out) but the indicator is still on.

I have coded the below and still getting errors

Rear Turn Signals:
All of the codes listed can be found under the REM module.

3061 FRA_H_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : Disabling cold bulb checks for Rear Left Turn Signal.
3061 FRA_H_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : Disabling warm bulb checks for Rear Left Turn Signal.
3061 FRA_H_L_IS_LED -> aktiv : Setting Rear Left Turn Signal type to LED.

3061 FRA_H_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : Disabling cold bulb checks for Rear Right Turn Signal.
3061 FRA_H_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : Disabling warm bulb checks for Rear Right Turn Signal.
3061 FRA_H_R_IS_LED -> aktiv : Setting Rear Right Turn Signal type to LED.

Is there an option code for LED indicators? I wondering if it would be better to change / add the option code then VO code just to mop up any missed code settings. Just a thought, I've not looked into it and may not be possible but if you can, it will be much cleaner.

What do you think teaston ?

The bulbs are Samsung ones, they were fine for the first few months.

When the failure comes up, if you cancel the indicator and put the indicator back on again its fine

I put front led indicators in my 330d and it worked fine with that coding (in the correct section for front indicators).

Rem is rear electronics module which controls all the rear lights, fem is front electronics module that controls all the front lights.

I did code rem for the led reverse bulbs I fitted though.

But if you watch them with the ignition on they will flash every few minutes if you haven't coded them!
