Hello Bimmers.

I currently own a 2012 118D Coupe with halogen headlights. The issue is, i want to install LED Bulbs. I am talking about the complete thing, Dipped Beam, Main Beam and Fog Lights. I do believe that all those bulbs need to be canbus, error free. I have found the LEDs i will be using.


  • Dipped Beam is 50W/SET (25W/Per Bulb) 6500K. This is a CANBUS set.
  • Main Beam is 72W/SET (36W/Per Bulb) 6500K. This is a CANBUS set.
  • Fog Lights is 50W/SET (25W/Per Bulb) 6500K. This is not a CANBUS set, so i will be ordering a CANBUS error free decoder to connect them.

My question is, will the said wattage suffice or will my headlights not be bright enough? Also, if i connect / use them as i state above, will i be error free? Is there anything else i need to know?

Thank you in advance.
